    Creative WriterWord Merchant L
    London, United KingdomFreelance
    Of all my creative endeavors, my freelance writing has been the most promising, as it has allowed me to write and edit articles for various digital platforms ranging from, ‘Guapmag’, ‘8085’, & ‘CapitalMoments’ early on, to Notionmag & Nation Of Billions most recently, giving me an intimate understanding of writing as a craft. Additionally, my early freelancing has exposed me to the craft’s challenges, taught me to approach while introducing me to some lesser-known contemporary artists with whom I conducted & transcribed feature-length interviews. Moreover I’ve built up rewarding work relationships, acquired a basic knowledge of WordPress and SEO, written detailed press releases, all whilst tending to PR correspondence. Journalism aside, I’ve also had the pleasure of scriptwriting with a filmmaker; songwriting with musicians, performing poetry live, and more. Most notably, I co-wrote & voice acted with Independent Film Maker R.M. Moses in 2015. Carousel, the film in question, went on to be nominated for "Best Drama Short" at the Winchester Film Festival 2015, was screened at the International Mobile Film festival SanDiego 2016, and also screened at the 7th annual New York City Independent Film Festival.
