Charlie Mager
I’m Charlie Mager, a published author, writer, editor, and communications professional based in the St. Louis area. For more than 10 years, I have created content for print and digital audiences, including feature stories, human-interest profiles, press releases, newsletters, website content, organizational communications, and long-form nonfiction.
My first published book, The Spirit of Missouri, was released in July 2025. This four-part chronicle explores Missouri’s professional sports history and cultural legacy, bringing together the people, places, innovations, and defining moments that helped shape the Show-Me State. The project reflects my passion for using detailed research and narrative storytelling to make history accessible and engaging.
I am also developing Bobby and the Game Keepers, a historical-fantasy saga that follows Bobby and four guardians on an enchanted journey through baseball and American history. Blending real events with magic, adventure, and character-driven storytelling, the saga explores loyalty, legacy, sacrifice, and the responsibility that comes with possessing the power to influence history.
Born in Kansas City and raised in St. Louis, I have always been fascinated by the history, culture, and stories that connect people and communities. My creative influences include Stephen King’s character-driven storytelling and Ken Burns’s ability to bring history to life through personal narratives.
Whether I am writing nonfiction, developing imaginative fiction, editing content, or communicating on behalf of an organization, my goal remains the same: to create clear, meaningful stories that inform audiences and leave a lasting impression.
