Charlotte began her career at the Orion Publishing Group in 2005. She left to join Quercus, then a very small start-up, and spent seven years commissioning, editing and publishing across most genres of fiction and some non-fiction. Her authors included Heather O’Neill (shortlisted for the Orange Prize in 2008), John Ajvide Lindqvist, Rosie Fiore, Eleanor Henderson and Brian Freeman. In 2011, she was one of seven editors selected to travel to China for a British Council tour to represent UK publishing. She left Quercus in 2012 to join the new fiction team at Oneworld, where she commissioned books from a list of authors including Debbie Taylor and Alexis M. Smith.
She lives in Hampshire with her husband and their two children.
