Back-to-school post: after 18 months at the FT, I’m excited to go freelance again.

I'm an award-winning writer, a talented exec/story editor, & a consultant who's done everything from podcast dev to top-tier copywriting for blue-chip brands.

Do hmu. https://t.co/updOVjlrIJ

Trying to get your head around what's happening in Georgia, post-election (the OTHER Georgia)? Our recent @financialtimes Big Read might help https://t.co/5Py9SbmrR7

How extremist West Bank settlers became the law: amazing to be part of the team working on this hard-hitting, super-important @FinancialTimes visual investigation / Big Read, which has taken months to stand up and pull together.

Is Ukraine the world’s most dangerous war? Gaza? No, it’s Sudan. Honoured to have edited today’s FT Big Read on a shockingly under-covered story by the brilliant @AndresSchipani https://t.co/AgCsrazNGz

[Andrew Dickson @andydickson]

V chuffed to be starting a new job @FinancialTimes — acting editor on the longform desk, commissioning FT Big Reads, visual investigations and other cool things. Can’t wait to work with a world-beating team of reporters & specialists (& find the box where they keep all the news)

@salexievich’s books are a reflection of the messy complexities of Belarus’s politics.

And as discordant as they are, writes @andydickson, they’re full of deliberately unresolved harmonies.

Profiled the brilliant, brave and gloriously out-there composer Jennifer Walshe, who was only too helpful about low-gravity bass bows and AI Ireland mash-ups (for @nytimes) https://t.co/p2pszHTW2W

Quite a thing to have interviewed a Nobel laureate twice (once about plays, once about prose). Thrilled for Jon Fosse, who is one of the kindest and gentlest souls — & at least now ppl will stop asking him when he’s going to win
