★★★★★
We’d run out of time and needed our monthly newsletter copy turned around fast. Charlotte was unflappable and efficient and just got on with the job. Her copy was on brief and on time. It also got results (an uplift in open rates).

Marketing Director, Bella Figura
★★★★★
Professional, precise, a creative thinker with an eye for detail. It’s an absolute pleasure to work with Charlotte.
She listens, asks questions that make us think, and seems to know what we need written – and how – before we do.

CEO, Leadership in Business book
★★★★★
Charlotte’s fun, professional, discreet and efficient. She’s made what seemed like a mountain of a task an utterly enjoyable experience. She quickly found the stories in my life, suggested a structure and best of all, what she writes sounds like me.

About my books
Into the Mountain
Into the Mountain is the first biography of Scottish writer and poet, Nan Shepherd.
Now best known for her masterpiece, The Living Mountain, she faded into literary obscurity during her lifetime and guarded her privacy fiercely.
This book unravels the mysteries, dispels some of the rumours and gives insight into the life and work of this extraordinary writer.
Reviews
Rich, wise, subtle and valuable, Into the Mountain is a biography of revelation (by glimpses) in the best sense, rather than ‘exposure’. A clever unfolding of a little-known life and the landscapes in which it was lived.
Underland, The Old Ways
Throughout, Charlotte Peacock traces how Shepherd’s life flowed into her literature, tackling topics of class and gender in her three novels. Best of all, this biography turns the reader back to Nan Shepherd’s brilliant books themselves.

Wild Geese
Much of Nan Shepherd’s work was never published outside local magazines and journals. You can find it now in Wild Geese, my edited collection of her writing.
Some of the poems, I found while researching Into the Mountain. They are printed here for the first time in any publication.
