I am a writer and freelance journalist based in Paris.
Journalism
I have been Paris correspondent to Ling Magazine since it's inception in 2007 and since the end of 2008 have also been a contributing editor. I like to write about people with deeply held interests, the collaborations between them, and about how tribes and communities form and thrive in the modern, commonly urban, environment. I try to be open to all subjects as potentially providing an interesting, previously unseen perspective, and so far I have not been disappointed. I also like to write about Paris, both as a living and historical city, and particularly the literature it has inspired. A selection of my articles are available here.
Editors: To find out what I'm currently working on or to propose a commission, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Fiction & Poetry
I prefer not to speak too much about my fiction and poetry, but rather to let it speak for itself. A few of my short stories are available here. I have recently started researching a novel. It won't be the first I've started, but will perhaps be the first I finish. I'll keep you posted.
Other
