Pitch Writer

I'm thrilled to announce that I've been appointed Deputy Editor of WIRED.

I come to the role as a huge fan of WIRED’s reporting in the last couple of years, particularly the incredible work the US team have done on ICE and DOGE. Some of my favourite pieces in recent months include the AI agents coming for your dating life, the integral mysteries of the pelvic floor and life under a digital blackout in Iran - not to mention this week's AI or Die Trying.

Now I’m looking for brilliant freelancers in the UK and EU working across technology, politics, science, health, security, culture and beyond. So what will that reporting look like?

Across Europe, the political centre is fragmenting as radical movements on both the left and right gain ground. The EU is racing to regulate AI as drone manufacturers are reshaping warfare in Ukraine. Breakthroughs in bioscience are accelerating as vaccine scepticism spreads and the wellness industrial complex grinds on. Defence-tech start-ups are booming, data centres are threatening the green belt and the space race has been privatised. The boundaries between technology, politics and power are collapsing.

WIRED’s journalism is about clarity at a time of over-information and exposing the invisible systems behind modern life.
