Hello,

I’m a freelance writer and editor based in east London. For 11 years I worked at The Guardian and The Observer, where I wrote and commissioned articles about film, music, books, art, TV, current affairs, disability, chronic illness, cats, Italy and more.

I have interviewed celebrities ranging from Werner Herzog to Debbie Harry, Emilia Clarke to Charli XCX, Michaela Coel to Jarvis Cocker, Alicia Vikander to Riz Ahmed, Lisa Kudrow to The Edge, as well as academics, scientists and politicians including Sadiq Khan. You can find my Guardian author page here. I have also written for publications including Dazed, Little White Lies, Polyester, Sight and Sound, The Independent, Time Out and Vice.

In 2023 my debut novel, At the Edge of the Woods, was published by Two Dollar Radio. My second novel, Distortion, will be published in spring 2027. I am represented by Matt Turner at Rogers, Coleridge and White.

I have an MA in Magazine Journalism from City, University of London, an MA in English: Issues in Modern Culture from University College London and a BA in English Literature from the University of York.

I am available for features, profiles, interviews, criticism, comment pieces, essays, editing, copywriting and more.
