I am a London-based author, journalist, broadcaster, consultant, and Contributing Editor at Marie Claire magazine. My debut novel, The Most Difficult Thing – part domestic suspense / part spy thriller – will be published by HarperCollins’ Borough Press in Spring 2020. (You can read about it in this piece in The Observer)
After eight years at The Independent as a reporter, editor and columnist, I’ve written and recorded for the likes of The Guardian, Sunday Times, The Week, The i paper, Marie Claire, BBC Woman’s Hour, Note to Self podcast, the World Service, Channel 4. Following a major undercover investigation into the scandal around ‘sex for tuition fees’, I was shortlisted for the 2013 Cudlipp prize at the Press Awards.
In 2014, I launched Motherland.net – an online magazine ‘for women who happen to be mums’. I also work as a freelance consultant for creative agencies including Winkreative, and brands such as Danone, Gap Kids and Little Freddie.
This blog is both a portfolio of my own work, and a platform for guest writers, offering an insight into the extraordinary lives of ordinary people. Do get in touch if you’d like to be featured! philbycharlotte@gmail.com
