Hello!

I’m Joanna, and I’m a “kick-ass”* editor and writer.

I’m a freelancer, creating regular content for FIPP, Mensa and Meet the Leader. A former editor of both craft newsstand titles and B2B publications, I’m a member of the British Society of Magazine Editors, and am Editorial Director of the newly launched The Grub Street Journal – “the magazine for magazine people”.

*that’s a direct quote

  • Writing & Editing

    From newsletters to podcast scripts to scientific articles, I can write or edit the content you need.

  • The Grub Street Journal

    Brutally honest yet relentlessly optimistic, The Grub Street Journal is a magazine for people who make magazines.

  • The Pocket Polymath

    A newsletter for the curious. Join me in my mission to be the most interesting person in the pub!
