    MA PublishingUniversity of The Arts London (UAL)
    London, United Kingdom
    Studying for a masters degree in publishing, with a particular interest in arts & culture non-fiction publishing, literary fiction and magazine publishing. Writing my dissertation on the impact of social media on literary communities and their relation to the publishing industry in light of these changes. Have undertaken courses in bookbinding & risograph printing. Worked on projects such as creating a marketing campaign for an upcoming re-release, a group project in which we created a hardcover, cloth bound book titled '25 Iconic Shoes' detailing 25 shoes and their cultural significance. For this particular project, I took on all of the copywriting, researching and writing about each shoe. Currently working on a podcast project in collaboration with Penguin Michael Joseph, which I am the editor for.
