Charlotte Northall

Charlotte Northall is a London-based writer whose work spans experimental nonfiction, literary fiction and cultural criticism.

Her writing engages with themes of capitalism, addiction, spirituality and systemic violence, drawing on lived experience alongside philosophical and interdisciplinary inquiry.

She is particularly interested in the ways economic structures and ideological frameworks shape perception, behaviour and inner life, and in how forms of dependency — on substances, institutions, technologies and consumer culture — emerge within late-capitalist conditions.

Across memoir, fiction and essay, her work explores the constructed nature of the self under such pressures, as well as the shifting relationships we form with our bodies and with those around us in environments marked by inequality and dislocation. Often employing transgressive humour, irony and experimental narrative strategies, she treats writing as both a critical and imaginative practice: a way of attending closely to experience, unsettling dominant myths, and testing the limits of agency.
