Ashley Packard is a fantasy author and freelance writer.
Ashley writes fiction that blends immersive world building, emotionally charged storytelling, and propulsive plots. Her work often explores themes of sisterhood, astrological-infused elements, and strong female leads. She is currently developing her debut novel and is open to literary representation.
Her nonfiction writing has appeared in top digital publications such as National Geographic, JoySauce, and Business Insider, and in print in Saveur, among others. She covers topics ranging from travel, culture, lifestyle, food and drink.

When she’s not exploring new cities or planning her next adventure, Ashley can be found hiking, cycling, or lost in a good book. A passionate advocate for creativity, curiosity, and connection, she brings intention to both her writing and her way of life. Committed to slow travel and conscious choices, Ashley believes small actions can lead to meaningful change in the world.
Some of her most unforgettable experiences include kayaking through Norway’s Nærøyfjord, hiking overnight to witness a live volcanic eruption in Iceland, paragliding over the Swiss Alps on her first solo trip, and snowmobiling to an ice cave on a glacier during one of her two wedding ceremonies in Iceland.
Ashley seizes every opportunity to explore—whether locally or across the globe—and finds joy in the simple thrill of a passport in hand and a window seat at 30,000 feet.
