Paillette Magazine
Sparkle in Every Story
Paillette Magazine is a blog founded by Charlotte Hardie-Watts. I am a freelance journalist and journalism student looking for opportunities to cover events or write about culture in Cardiff. I also write worldwide lifestyle & culture content.
I am a News Journalism MA student at Cardiff University, actively contributing to various student media outlets on campus while also pursuing freelance writing opportunities with external news platforms and of course, my blog. I was the editor-in-chief of Quench Magazine for 2025/26: a Cardiff University student-led arts & culture magazine.
I am a dedicated and meticulous person and have won an ‘Outstanding commitment’ award for my dedication to Quench Magazine,
I have started a side career as a freelance journalist in Cardiff to develop my portfolio and experience in journalism.
I would be thrilled to help cover any event in Cardiff for free. Contact me: paillettemagazine@gmail.com
