I am currently Features Editor at Norman Records. New work of mine is uploaded to the website's Features page on a weekly basis, including weekly and monthly listicles on new music releases.

​

Some personal highlights of my work for Norman include

• Co-ordinating Norman's Twenty-Fifth Anniversary series. This saw me write pieces on Jenny Hval's 'Apocalypse, girl' and BEAK>'s '>>' as well as retrospective articles on the musical trends of 1996.

• Writing Norman's end-of-year reviews, mid-year reviews as well as the website's 'Albums of the Decade' feature at the end of the 2010s.

• Several entries into Norman's '5 Key Records' series including pieces on Nick Cave, Death Grips, Radiohead and Sleater-Kinney.

• Numerous other feature series, all of which are accessible from Norman's Features page.

Between 2017 and 2021 I was a regular copywriter for the online record shop Bleep, authoring thousands of record blurbs in that time.

​

I have written press releases for record labels such as Gobstopper, Central Processing Unit and Buzzhowl.

I was commissioned to write the poem 'What North Is Coming Now?' to be used on the poster for the 2016 Leeds International Film Festival.

​

I wrote the 'preface' to Theo Gowans' 2020 album Wresteling Spelt Wrong On The Flyer.

I am currently readying a collection of poetry to be published in early 2022.
