Journalism

With almost 20 years of experience in film journalism, I have written for Empire magazine and Empire Online, The Guardian, The Telegraph, Grazia, IGN, and Time Out among others. I also write about TV, theatre, books and whatever else I’m allowed to do, but film is my primary focus.

Broadcasting and Podcasting

I’m co-host of the Empire podcast, and I also host two podcast series of my own with Stripped Media, Women Vs Hollywood (tied to the book) and Bah Humbug, a Christmas movies podcast. I also have a long history of TV broadcasting on every major UK channel as well as on radio.

Publications

I’ve written three books, two introductions and a comic. My most recent book is Women Vs Hollywood: The Fall And Rise Of Women In Film, a BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week and Sunday Times and Time Out Book of the Year. I hope to get around to writing more.

Live Events

The Empire podcast live shows have become a regular tradition, and we even did an international tour in 2019-2020. I also host Q&As, sit on and chair discussion panels, host events (the BAFTA winners press conference; the Glastonbury film tent) and generally get out and about.
