We had a great time chatting with Charlotte, hearing about how she got started in TV, what the jobs of script editor and story producer entail, and where she first got the idea for MARS ONE. We also talk about getting notes in both TV and fiction writing, and we get some interesting anecdotes about her work in TV!
