What I do
I am a freelance writer published online and in print. Some bylines include Stylist, gal-dem, Metro, Soho House, and Time Out.
I work as an editor for Metro UK's Platform section and guest edited for gal-dem on the series I created: The Passage That Changed Me.
I have been a host and a speaker for various in-person and virtual events. Selected clients: Sevenstore and Nike, Beats by Dre, Dazed, Mubi, I Like Networking, and Manchester International Festival.
I host my own events regularly too - surrounding the art of personal writing, storytelling and getting to the heart of who we are and what we feel. I am also the co-host of Close Up with Aurelia Magazine, a warm, funny and often existential podcast that gets personal. Our first season is now streaming on all platforms.
I was really pleased to be a longlist judge for The Portico Prize - a biennial award for the book that best evokes the spirit of the North of England. I have been a guest on panels, podcasts, and news shows.
