Casper Pieters: A Journey from Ecology to Edu-Fiction

From ecologist to pioneering edu-fiction author, Casper Pieters’ path has been as captivating as the stories he writes. Inspired early on by international poetry and storytellers like Allen Ginsberg, Casper’s love for writing took root. Rising at 4:30 am each day with fresh ideas, he never lacks inspiration.

With two decades in TV production creating award-winning science documentaries, Casper built a solid foundation for his work in education. As a certified Fictionary Developmental Editor, he has also helped countless writers achieve their publishing goals. After transitioning to teaching, he spent a decade developing online ICT learning platforms for high schools, blending his expertise in tech and education.

Casper’s global adventures—restoring remote South-Pacific islands, treasure hunting in Dutch soil, riding across Spain, residing in a Thai Buddhist cave, and even roller-skating through Indonesia—have provided rich experiences that color his writing with unique insights.

In the world of edu-fiction, Casper’s Bindi and Beam (Middle Grade) and Team Savv-i (Young YA) series combine thrilling stories with real-world digital citizenship lessons. Designed to align with school curricula, these series make learning about technology engaging and memorable.

Casper believes that storytelling is a powerful learning tool, using curriculum-relevant plots to engage young readers in digital literacy, safety, and citizenship. Grounded in neurological research, he knows an engaged mind learns best.

For Casper, writing is more than a career; it’s a mission to empower young readers with the skills to navigate our digital world. His stories aren’t just adventures—they’re journeys into knowledge, leaving readers better prepared for the world ahead.
