Charli Haynes
Charli survives the real world by believing in magic. She is perpetually enrolled in the University of Pop Culture and lives and breathes everything geek: from graphic novels (which she studied as part of her English degree) to video games (which she writes) and all the bits in convention halls in between (she was part of the team that used to run MCM Comic Con). Charli grew up hanging out in Pigeon Park in Birmingham and now, after a decade working in social media in London, she lives back in the Midlands teaching her two cats how to navigate the mosh pit. Charli graduated with distinction from Bath Spa University’s MA in Writing for Young People.
