hello!
Meet Samantha.
Since 2014, I’ve maintained this corner of the internet to share my thoughts on whatever I’m currently reading. As an ardent literature fan and two-time Blue Peter badge short story winner (humble brag!), what started as an after-school boredom cure has since grown into something much bigger – opening doors to a career, collaborations with publishers and brands I admire, contributions to other publications, and the chance to support causes I care deeply about.
In the real world, I work in corporate communications within financial services, having previously worked across tech and pharma. I split my time between London and Cardiff. Outside of work, you’ll find me hunting down new restaurants, surviving Pilates with varying levels of grace, or getting far too invested in F1 and tech innovations.
I’ve also been outspoken about sexual misconduct in higher education following my own experience while studying in Bristol in 2019, and have worked alongside fellow survivors to campaign for mandated policies and clearer, fairer reporting processes within universities and police forces. Speaking about violence against women remains incredibly important to me, and I’m a strong supporter of organisations such as Solace Women’s Aid and Do Better Academia, who work to support survivors and hold institutions accountable.
