About me
Writer, Bookseller, Interviewer
Hello there 👋🏼
My name is Charlotte and I’m a writer, bookseller and facilitator based on Wathaurong Country in Geelong, Victoria.
My writing has been published in journals such as Griffith Review, Island Magazine, Westerly, Overland, Write or Die Magazine, and Kill Your Darlings, and The Guardian and Weekend Australian newspapers. My short fiction has been shortlisted in the Rachel Funari Prize for Fiction and the Peter Carey Short Story Prize. In 2023 I received my PhD in Creative Writing from Deakin University and am currently working on my first novel.
This year, I was lucky enough to be shortlisted for the 2024 Bookseller of the Year Award, administered by the national body for booksellers, BookPeople.
In 2025 I’ll be undertaking a fellowship residency at Varuna: The Writers House in the Blue Mountains to complete my manuscript, ‘The Kookaburra.’
I love hosting in-conversation events with authors and am a regular interviewer at The KO Creative Studio, the Geelong Library, and writers festivals in the region.
