About Charlotte

Charlotte Coplin is an author based in Los Angeles.

Charlotte grew up in the small city of Christchurch, New Zealand, and spent her late teens and twenties living, working and studying between Italy, Australia and the UK. She is a graduate of The New Zealand School of Film and Television and dedicated the first decade of her career to working between the fashion and interior design industries, eventually going on to own her own vintage shop. 

Since 2020 she has worked as a freelance writer, contributing to a variety of titles such as Fashion Journal, Frankie Magazine and The Times UK. In 2023 an article she wrote for MamaMia trended at no. 1 on Apple News Australia. Her first book, How to Be Fabulous, was published by Affirm Press in 2023.

She was writer-in-residence at Noce Fresca in 2022 and at The Weymouth Center in 2025. In 2023 she graduated from a selective Curtis Brown Creative novel writing course. In 2024 she trained as a Gateless Writing facilitator and teacher.

Charlotte is now a regular contributor to Margot Magazine. She leads Gateless Writing salons in Los Angeles, Santa Barbara and online. Alongside this, she works with private clients delivering her Compass Readings, a comprehensive birth chart reading combining astrology, human design and astrocartography.

She lives in an Art Deco apartment with her husband and a couple of glamorous ghosts from Old Hollywood’s heyday.

Charlotte is currently completing her first novel and starting her second.
