After taking a short break, I am officially looking for work in either full-time or freelance roles.

I have 5 years experience as a Guide Writer and Editor, while also writing features, reviews, and news, with bylines on SI, ESPN, DblTap, and many more.

As always, I am available for freelance work. My main remit is guides, but I have plenty of experience with features and previews.

I also live very close to central London, so if UK-based outlets need it, I can attend events on your behalf. Full portfolio in my pinned.

That's right, I'm doing gaming video essays now, and you can't stop me.

First one's about that spurt of mild depression I get when I finish a long game (and I hope you do too).

Would appreciate a watch and signal boost, as I have more on the way:

FINALLY this company actually does something unpredictable and takes a risk, and it's no surprise it's the happiest I've been with the product in about a year, if not longer.

Will Cody will be champ again by Mania? Yyeaahhh probably, but fuck this feels good in the moment.
