Hello, I’m Charlotte
Paillette Magazine is a blog founded by Charlotte Hardie-Watts. I am a freelance journalist working between the UK and Montpellier in France, looking for opportunities to cover events and write about culture. I also write worldwide lifestyle and culture content.
I was the Editor-in-Chief of Quench Magazine for 2025/26, Cardiff University’s student-led arts and culture magazine, where I won an Outstanding Commitment award for my dedication. I now write freelance for external platforms.
I would be thrilled to help cover events in the UK and in France. Get in touch at paillettemagazine@gmail.com or through the contact page.
