How I got into magazines…
I first found myself in the shiny world of magazines when I was 19-years-old. While hard at work in my second year of an English Literature degree, I contacted my local newspaper looking for work experience, hoping this might open some doors to a career in journalism.
Somehow, the stars aligned and a door flung wide open, as the editor of said newspaper was also editor-in-chief at one of the UK’s top women’s health magazines, where I began writing my first magazine features.
Fast forward six years, I’ve now written and edited hundreds of features for six different national titles: Top Santé UK, Platinum, Psychologies, Women’s Fitness, Men’s Fitness and Natural Health.
I’m also proud to be a core member of the editorial team at Women’s Fitness magazine, responsible for commissioning, writing and editing regular features as well as sourcing imagery and giveaway prizes.
