My name is Charlotte Cooper, I am one of many Charlotte Coopers in the world. I live in Stratford, East London, not far from the devil's Olympic zone. I am currently on a PhD scholarship at the University of Limerick, where I am writing a thesis on fat activism.

This site is an ongoing collection of stuff that I've written, made or done. I started building it in 2002. For a while I updated it monthly but now it's more or less an archive. It's a clunky old site but is full of hidden gems that I hope you will enjoy. |

I support DIY culture and have been involved with many organisations, including 3AM, The Chubsters, The Clerkenwell Literary Festival, various LadyFests, Ladies Rock! and Girls Rock!, NOLOSE, The Queer Storytelling Festival, Queeruption, Transfabulous, The York Lesbian Arts Festival, and more. |

I love to read/perform my writing in front of an audience. I love to collaborate with people. In the past I've devised and run workshops around fat and body stuff, zine-making and creative writing. Wanna invite me to do something? Get
in touch. |

I'm a trained psychotherapist/counsellor. I use an integrative model and incorporate my work around fat and/or queer identities into my practice. Get in touch if you are interested in either becoming a client or you are a professional developing a Health At Every Size approach to mental health.

My
mum died of cancer when I was 18 and my eldest brother died in a car crash
about a year later. Even though they died a long time ago, I still like to talk about them. Send an email if you'd
like to hear a story about Paul and Rosemary. |

Still not enough information? I have a fat blog, I blog at Kink, I have an occasional video blog, and I'm on all the usual social networking sites. I do a lot of stuff with different people. Come and say hi. |
