Charlene Carr
BIO
Biography

Charlene Carr studied literature at university, attaining both a BA and MA in English, including a study program at Oxford. She attained a degree in Journalism and, after travelling the globe for several years and working an array of mostly writing related jobs, she decided the time had come to focus exclusively on her true love – novel writing.

She has independently published nine novels and her first agented novel, Hold My Girl, has sold to HarperCollins Canada, Welbeck Publishing (UK), Sourcebooks Landmark (US), and Alma Littera (Lithuania) and is set for adaptation to TV by Blink49 Studios in partnership with Groundswell Productions. She has received grants from Arts Nova Scotia and Canada Council for the Arts to write and revise her next novel.
