Charlotte Browne
Charlotte hails from the Georgian city of Bath, a beautiful but at times stifling place to grow up in. Tired of seeing the same old faces every time she went out (and, equally, they were probably a bit sick of seeing hers every Friday night too) she moved to London to pursue her dream of becoming a famous script writer.
