Journalism

I started my career as Junior Writer on the sadly now-defunct (I blame you, Facebook) market-leading teen magazine Sugar, working my way up to Senior Writer and running the celebrity section, where highlights included doing a one-on-one interview with Beyoncé who was convinced we’d met before. We hadn’t.

After that I went to work at young women’s magazine More! (you’ll notice that’s no longer around either – seriously, Facebook…) where I mostly wrote about white wine and being a 20-something and then in my role as Commissioning Editor, got other people to write about white wine and being a 20-something, before going to be Features Editor at Fabulous.

Along the way I’ve also spent a year at Heat magazine as a Freelance Senior Editor, worked on the new launch X magazine (the official magazine of X Factor) as Associate Editor and at The Mirror, edited 3am Online.

As a freelancer, I have done regular senior editorial cover, editing copy, signing off pages and brainstorming ideas at Stylist magazine and others. I also write for a wide range of publications like The Telegraph, Stylist, Refinery 29, The Guardian, Marie Claire, Grazia, The i, Metro and Fabulous. The best place to see all of the online content I’ve done is here, on my Contently.

Here’s a little selection of some of my print work…

A piece for the Metro on my great love, yoga, and why it has so many physical benefits as well as mental (if it looks odd, that’s because it’s the iPad edition… that’s due to the fact I work from home so by the time I get to the tube to get a Metro, they, er, tend to have gone. Because it’s midday.)
