Film & Games Journalism

As a freelance writer I have published reviews, articles, interviews and festival coverage for multiple outlets. I'm also the Editor-in-Chief for FILMHOUNDS Magazine, am a Rotten Tomato-approved critic, and a member of GALECA.

​

Below are links to different pieces from my body of work.

FILMHOUNDS Magazine

Over the years I have had work published on their website and in their print magazine as a staff writer. I'm now their Editor-in-Chief, in which I look after a team of editors, liaise with PR agencies, and utilise strategies to grow the outlet.

Mediaversity Reviews

I've taken on several commissions for Mediaversity Reviews, where reviews examine social contexts and inclusivity as well as technical aspects.

Movie Marker

Movie Marker has commissioned me several times, typically covering festivals such as BFI Flare Film Festival and Sundance Film Festival.

Soundsphere Magazine

In the build-up to the launch of their Screensphere branch, I was commissioned to write a piece I pitched: arguing how Wes Ball's Apes movie proves he's the right director for Zelda. 

Metro GameCentral

I was commissioned by Metro's GameCentral division to write a piece for Pride Month in 2023. I took the opportunity to talk about positive queer representation within AAA games.

Film Stories

After pitching the idea, I was commissioned to write an article about film production in Norfolk and Norwich. My extensive research and interviews with location managers and producers led the piece to be featured on the front of the magazine.

Space.com

I took on some freelance work for Space.com that allowed me to branch out into writing lists and guides. These articles also have a particular tone of voice with audiences interested in science in mind.

Flip Screen

When I was a staff writer at Flip Screen, I published an array of reviews, articles and interviews. I even ran a monthly column focused on screenwriting that garnered popularity within the film criticism community.

JumpCut PLAY

I was commissioned to write a personal piece on my relationship with the Zelda franchise, in celebration of the franchise's 35th anniversary.

After submitting a pitch I was commissioned by New Game Plus to write an article exploring bisexual representation in video games.
