Charlotte Runcie is a British author and arts journalist, formerly a columnist for The Daily Telegraph and contributor to The Times and The Guardian.
Her debut novel, Bring the House Down, was inspired by a real incident during her career as a critic, when a comedian she negatively reviewed retaliated by reading the review aloud to future audiences.
Published in 2025 by Doubleday Books in the US and Borough Press in the UK, it marks her transition from journalism and non-fiction into literary fiction, showcasing her deep familiarity with the arts world and cultural criticism.
