OUR AUTHORS

Charlotte Northeast

Charlotte Northeast spent time during the pandemic lurking in the shadows of ghostwriting but is now proud to be out in the open. She has written books across several different genres: rom-com, sci-fi, religious and fantasy.

Her career started in the theatre where she is an actor, director and writer. She is one quarter of the writing team of The Complete Works of Jane Austen, Abridged (also a performer). Her adaptation of Thomas Heywood’s Fair Maid of the West Parts 1 and 2 was an audience favorite, and a critical success for the Philadelphia Artists’ Collective (PAC) in 2015.

Since then, she has adapted Fletcher’s Tamer Tamed, and been a devising mind behind several shows, including You Shouldn’t Be Doing What You’re Doing On That Ladder and Citrus Andronicus. 

Charlotte lives in Collingswood, NJ with her husband, son and two ridiculous cats.

Didi Pounder

“I could never write those books. The pen would catch fire.”

Didi Pounder has been a professional ghostwriter since 2019, authoring or co-authoring dozens of novels. Not only is she ready to have her own work out in the open, she thinks it’s about damn time. 

When not writing, she enjoys taking long walks along the Dalmatian Coast, eating oysters, sipping wine, and living a life she never dreamed of. 

TRASHCAN MANIFESTO

Here at Trashcan, our sole mission is to make your hair stand on end. If that’s through smut, snappy jokes, balls-out horror, or a finely crafted relationship between two characters, so be it. We’re here for engagement of the first order. Thrilling, funny, fast paced, crackerjack reads you can’t put down. 

Or as we like to say, beach reads that’ll have you squirming in your swimsuit.

Think of us as the heirs to all that glorious grindhouse pulp from back in the day. Whether that calls to mind the bodice rippers on your grandma’s nightstand, or the sleazy flicks at the drive-in, that’s us.

Our writers are sharp, our editors are swift, and all our cover artists are tip-top. No Ai allowed. It’s human or nothing. If you wanna f*ck a computer, go home.

– Sharp Levarius
