I’m a freelance writer, editor and strategist with more than seven years’ experience working across print and digital.

I currently work in content marketing at TikTok, as associate editor at book trade magazine The Bookseller, and copy-edit, sub-edit and proofread for clients including Stylist, Yahoo, Penguin Random House and HarperCollins.

I write a monthly books preview for The Bookseller, which you can read more about here. Check out the first preview here. I’m also programming a strand of annual publishing conference Futurebook. The programme is available to view here.

Previously I was an associate content strategist at a content marketing agency called studioID (formerly NewsCred), content editor at The Bookseller, sub-editor at gal-dem magazine and literary journal minor literature[s], and the managing editor of InPrint magazine.

I have worked for clients including American Express, Aegon, Generali, Motability, Cisco and HSBC; written for The Observer and The Bookseller; and interviewed figures such as Nicola Sturgeon, Gary Younge and Irvine Welsh.

I’m the chair of judges for the Discover Award, part of the British Book Awards. I’ve previously judged the Historical Writers’ Association Gold Crown Award, the Galley Beggar short story prize, the Impress Prize for New Writers, and was the deputy chair of Debut Book of the Year at the British Book Awards.

I’ve also chaired and participated in numerous panels discussions on independent publishing, young people in publishing, diversity, and other themes.

I am an NUJ George Viner Scholar, a two-time Trailblazer award shortlistee, and a one time Influx Press literary hero.

I am skilled in content strategy, content creation, copywriting and editing, image manipulation, video editing, project management and social media management.
