Writer - Carl A Harte

The writer

In 2021, Carl and Supriya Vani released their major biography of New Zealand’s celebrated Prime Minister. Jacinda Ardern: Leading with Empathy garnered critical acclaim and attention from readers, across the globe. Paul Monk of the Australian lauded it ‘an inspiring read’, while Anne Foley in the American Library Association’s Booklist described it as a ‘readable, admiring biography’. In the Herald of Scotland, Susan Swarbrick included it in her list, ‘25 best books to read this summer’.

Carl’s first published book, Building Your Own Home: Tips, Techniques and Thoughts for the Owner Builder, earned him an eLit Gold Award. Carl’s experience with this book was the springboard for his literary development, while he honed his skills editing for prominent authors, including the late former President of India, Dr A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, Lieutenant Governor Kiran Bedi, Arun Tiwari, Farahnaz Ispahani, Swami Agnivesh, Kishalay Bhattacharjee, Om Swami, and Maxwell Pereira.

The varied subject matters of the books Carl edited lent breadth and depth to his own repertoire. Conversant with genres as diverse as spirituality, politics, health, biography, true crime, and romance, he has become equally comfortable with non-fiction and fiction.

‘During the writing of [Transcendence] I worked with Mr Carl Harte and experienced a powerful spiritual connection. This connection worked wonderfully in the writing of this book. We have not met in person yet, but our collaboration is testimony to the power of the unseen and the physical impact of the spiritual force. But for his editorial efforts, the book would not have seen the light of day as fast as it has.’
