I’ve been writing for a variety of print and online publications since 2013, focusing on fashion, music and current affairs. My work has previously been published in METAL Magazine, Wonderland Magazine, Sunstroke Magazine, BRICKS Magazine, Coeval Magazine, Thiiird Magazine, 5.18 Magazine and Hive Magazine.
I currently work as a freelance writer, publishing regular pieces on 5.18 Magazine and regular music articles for Hive Magazine. I also have a Substack where I explore more personal, in depth and whimsical writing, and which helps support me financially (although free subscribers are also welcomed and appreciated). For any writing enquiries, please email eeriemusicplaying@gmail.com or DM me on instagram.
