Been thinking about how Netflix approached Adolescence on social.

• Tough subject matter
• Native formats
• Genuinely thoughtful tone
• They let the audience lead

Social doesn’t have to be loud or lol-heavy to make an impact.

Torrey Peters is back with a bold collection pushing the boundaries of gender, power, and identity. Set in a remote logging camp, the titular story turns a winter dance into a volatile exploration of masculinity, transition, and desire. ‘Stag Dance’ is a must read this spring!

‘All The Young Queers’ is my @thisisqueerly.com Book of the Week! This wonderful collection of short stories from Nathan Evans offers a window into the challenges and triumphs of growing up queer. It’s a celebration of identity, love, and the journey to find one’s place in the world. #BookOfTheWeek

A man returns home, seeking closure—but finds comfort in a former lover’s arms. A stunning, unsentimental novel about love, trust & the search for home.

I loved ‘The Edges’ by Angelo Tijssens—raw yet tender, it lingers long after the final page. #BookOfTheWeek

Big change on Instagram. Main feed thumbnails now display a 4:5 crop. Chaos. #SocialMedia

After 11 years leading digital and social content at Working Title Films, I’ll soon be stepping away.

It’s been an extraordinary decade-plus of creativity, storytelling, and learning.

I’m now looking for freelance opportunities with start dates from mid-March 2025.

It’s weird how no one ever talks about the fact Wicked is a remake 🧙‍♀️

My pick this week for @thisisqueerly.com is ‘The Camp 100’ by Simon Doonan - a fabulous celebration of all things camp! ✨

Beautifully illustrated and unapologetically bold, it’s a playful manifesto to embrace humour and see the world through a camp lens.

‘Blitz’ is available on Apple TV+ from today. It’s fantastic. Hugely proud of my Working Title family for this one 👏

If you are looking for something to watch this weekend can I recommend 'Until I Kill You'. It's certainly not feel good but quite inspirational in terms of an individual's capacity for resilience. itvX.
