- The Wheels Issue for Oh ComelyAs features assistant for the Wheels Issue (no.26 out August 2015) I worked closely with the Editor in Chief to develop stories and ideas based on the issue’s theme. I researched, conducted and wrote up feature interviews; orchestrated the women on wheels feature; did copy editing, fact checking and worked with the photographer to pull together pieces.
- Ladybeard Magazine: The Sex IssueThe Sex Issue looks at sex – in the sexual, reproductive, romantic, mind-blowing, disappointing, traumatic, formative sense. We are raised to think that men and women are inherently different, that our gender is defined at birth, and that sex is the heteronormative act of penetration. This issue will challenge these assumptions, opening them up with atypical takes on the theme. Art, interviews, poetry and prose will address rape, porn, abortion, masturbation and race from fresh, feminist perspectives. This issue spans the sexual universe from erotica to ecosexuality, via the economic crisis. Get ready for the next big bang.

Work history
Co-editor
As co-editor I was part of a team of three that commissioned, copy-edited and proofed the entirety of our first issue that was launched on November 14th 2015: the Sex Issue. I was in charge of curating and editing content for our website and growing our presence as a digital platform whilst putting together the print issue. As Head of Marketing, I orchestrated our rapid growth in the past 6 months on all social platforms, promoted the launch party (which was sold out) and got pieces about the launch of the magazine on the front pages of Vice and Dazed Digital. I also got coverage for the magazine in Don’t Panic, It’s Nice That, Stack, and MagCulture. We have sold out our first print run.
