Charli Mills comes from a vaquero culture, winning California rodeo trophies before first-grade. She wrangles words from Michigan’s U.P. where she lives with her former Army Ranger husband, also a fellow westerner. Charli recovers forgotten voices, writing about veteran spouses and historical frontier women.
In 2014, she founded Carrot Ranch , an online community where she mentors international literary artists. As lead buckaroo, she hosts a weekly 99-word challenge and publishes stories from around the world. She encourages writers to grow in their craft, voice, and life as a literary artist.
Charli’s mission is to make literary art accessible among women, veterans, and underserved groups.
