Charlotte Morgan

Charlotte Morgan is a longtime journalist and educator. Born and raised in Cleveland, she is a graduate of Cleveland State University, where she earned both her undergraduate and graduate degrees in English. She is a resident of Cleveland's Glenville neighborhood. As a journalist, she has been published for more than 35 years, with her most recent work appearing in Freshwater Cleveland, Literary Cleveland Anthologies, and the Land. 

Today, she is a firm believer in Community Journalism as an antidote to gatekeeping. As a curriculum developer, she has created Community Journalism programs for Freshwater Cleveland, the Land, Planet Detroit, and Cuyahoga Community College. Next spring, she will be teaching Community Journalism at Ursuline College. Her teaching pedagogy is: Today is not like yesterday, and a critical thinker wonders why this is so. 

Morgan has taught at Cuyahoga Community College, Cleveland State University, and Literary Cleveland, as well as at the Cleveland Public Library and the Cuyahoga County Public Library. As a writer, she is enthusiastic about nonfiction storytelling and place-based writing. Her debut memoir, Glenville: My Side of Paradise, set to be published by Wade Park Publishing, LLC later this year, explores her experiences growing up in the historic Glenville neighborhood of northeast Cleveland—the birthplace of both the iconic character Superman and the film character Superfly.
