Introduction: I'm a professional freelance journalist who specializes in film and culture. I've had bylines at The Guardian, Sight & Sound Magazine, VICE, Little White Lies, and the British Film Institute. I'm an excellent copy-editor and look forward to proofreading and streamlining writers' work. I love the variety of things I've worked on - interviews, long-form profiles, criticism, listicles, narrative prose, reportage, etc. I love constructing and using language and seeing it come to life on the page. I've done everything from interviews with famous film directors to boxing analysis and coverage of virtual reality conventions. Here at Thumbtack, I'm happy to work on personal essays and creative work that needs proofreading/critiquing, professional letters, and anything else that could benefit from re-phrasing. It's my job to make things more vibrant for the reader!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I generally charge around 20-30 cents per word, though am willing to negotiate dependent on the type of project and how long I expect it to take me.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I have a discussion with them about what they expect from the piece. If I'm writing something, I want to know the tone, the purpose, and anything special they want mentioned. I also need to know what the word count/length and deadline will be. If I'm editing, I'd discuss whatever existing concerns the customer had. We agree on a fee and deadline and I deliver promptly.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I graduated top of my class from UK university Nottingham Trent, (1st Class diploma) with a joint Bachelor of the Arts in English / Film & Television. I scored a perfect mark on my final dissertation, won the Film & TV Award upon graduation, and have since won the Intellect/Film Matters Masoud Yadzani 2015 Award for Excellence in Film Scholarship. I've been working as a freelance journalist and occasional copy editor for four years and my writing has been published by VICE, Sight & Sound, The Guardian, and others.
