Back-to-school post: after 18 months at the FT, I’m excited to go freelance again.
I'm an award-winning writer, a talented exec/story editor, & a consultant who's done everything from podcast dev to top-tier copywriting for blue-chip brands.

Is Ukraine the world’s most dangerous war? Gaza? No, it’s Sudan. Honoured to have edited today’s FT Big Read on a shockingly under-covered story by the brilliant @AndresSchipani on.ft.com/3XgACJ7
V chuffed to be starting a new job @FinancialTimes — acting editor on the longform desk, commissioning FT Big Reads, visual investigations and other cool things. Can’t wait to work with a world-beating team of reporters & specialists (& find the box where they keep all the news)

@salexievich’s books are a reflection of the messy complexities of Belarus’s politics.
And as discordant as they are, writes @andydickson, they’re full of deliberately unresolved harmonies.

Profiled the brilliant, brave and gloriously out-there composer Jennifer Walshe, who was only too helpful about low-gravity bass bows and AI Ireland mash-ups (for @nytimes) nytimes.com/2023/11/15/arts/…
In which I got to speak Klingon @BBCRadio3 — a really interesting debate, great to be involved

Quite a thing to have interviewed a Nobel laureate twice (once about plays, once about prose). Thrilled for Jon Fosse, who is one of the kindest and gentlest souls — & at least now ppl will stop asking him when he’s going to win
