Born in London, Charlie discovered storytelling at a young age. After pursuing work and studies in drama and education Charlie decided to embark on a new chapter of life, moving across continents to call Australia home.

As an award-winning author, Charlie has won the Readings Prize, a Davitt Award and the Adelaide Festival Unpublished Manuscript award. Her works have been recognised as CBCA Notable and Honor books and her first middle grade novel was shortlisted for the Text Prize.

Charlie has taught in Australia, the UK, and in Indonesia. These experiences enrich her ability to connect with the hearts and minds of her readers. Through engaging Middle Grade novels, a beautiful picture book and thought-provoking YA, Charlie seeks to create stories that leave a lasting impression. Charlie has new Sugarcane Kids adventures coming out in 2024 and 2025.

Currently living on Kaurna land, Charlie’s blogs, short stories and poems are about resilience, curiosity and the beauty of our world.
