What’s all this about, then?

Trying to understand the world, by exploring stories of art, science, and culture, with occasional personal essays.

Who am I, anyway?

My name is Charlotte Fielding, and I’m a writer and a mother. I live in Aotearoa New Zealand with my teenager and our little fluffy dog. I have a degree in cultural anthropology, and I work full time in communications. I’m endlessly curious and love learning new things.

I’m also working on a novel and I write freelance articles for various NZ publications. (It’s a lot of words.) The rest of the time I’m probably listening to podcasts, swimming, crafting things, reading (I love literary fiction and cosy mysteries), playing piano, spending time with friends, and watching too much TikTok.
