she then moved to New York City as an intern at Killer Films. Later, living in Wisconsin, she finished her first novel Prizefighter En Mi Casa, which won the Delacorte Dell Yearling Award, as well as the Parents' Choice Silver Honor for 'giving life —sadness, hope and despair to a Mexican family living in a small town in south Texas.'[2] her second book, Feels Like Home, was written the following year.

After living in Ohio for several years, Charlton-Trujillo released her third novel, Fat Angie, in March 2013. It received praise from authors Gregory Maguire (Wicked), Ellen Hopkins (Crank), Pat Schmatz (Blue Fish) and Jo Knowles (Harry's Place). Fat Angie was named a winner of the Stonewall Book Award in 2014.[3]

In August 2016 Candlewick Press at the author's request indefinitely delayed publication of their novel in verse When We Was Fierce following criticism from early readers over concerns of its use of an invented black vernacular.[4]

In April 2018, Charlton-Trujillo was part of a panel at the Texas Library Association Conference titled "Author, Please Come! Never Mind. Please Don't" where authors shared their experiences of being invited to speak at literary events only to have their invitations rescinded. Also part of the panel were authors Ellen Hopkins and Gayle Pitman.[5]
