Charlotte Barkla is a Brisbane-based writer who worked as a civil engineer and physics teacher before rediscovering her love for childrenโ€™s literature. She now writes picture books, middle-grade fiction and feature articles.โ€‹

Charlotteโ€™s debut picture book,ย All Bodies are Good Bodiesย was published by Hardie Grant Childrenโ€™s Publishing in 2020. It has since been translated in Italian, Turkish, Slovenian and Romanian. English-language rights have been sold in China, and the book was published in the UK in August.

The first two novels in Charlotteโ€™s middle-grade series, Edieโ€™s Experiments, were also published in 2020, by Penguin Random House. The first book has been translated in Turkish, and the second book was shortlisted for the 2021 Environment Award for Childrenโ€™s Literature.

Charlotteโ€™s next picture book, a light-hearted exploration of boundaries and consent (From My Head to My Toes I Say What Goes) will be published in February 2022.
