Hi!

… I’m Hannah, and I’m a writer and editor specialising in pop culture. I worked as the Guardian’s deputy TV editor between 2019 and 2021, and am now deputy editor on newsletters.

I cut my teeth as a teenager writing about music for the likes of NME and The Fly and writing a semi-successful, though generally illiterate blog. Along the way I’ve also written for VICE, Q Magazine (RIP), Refinery29, Time Out, British Vogue and more, and worked on branded content for the likes of Spotify, Sonos and MTV. I helped to write the Guardian’s Glastonbury mini Guide in 2016 and 2017, and edited a one-off Guardian TV supplement in 2017. Between 2016 and 2019 I floated around as a casual editor on culture/features at the Guardian, and covered editors at VICE and Red Bull.

As well as writing, I have dabbled in freelance French to English translation (culture-related stuff or music press releases) and artist biogs.

As of August 2023 I am currently taking a break from the newsroom to undertake an MA for mid-career journalists in arts and culture journalism at Columbia University in New York.
