It feels surreal to finally be able to share that I’m going to be a @harpercollins.bsky.social UK. I couldn’t have got here without the HC Author Academy, which opens for applications in January. I can’t say much yet about the book - but TRAUMA BONDS will be published by Mudlark in 2027.

In December, the killers in the "doppelganger murder" were sentenced to life in prison. But German authorities failed to notify the victim's family in Algeria. Instead, the victim's mom & sister only found out 3 weeks later — when I reached out to check in. www.businessinsider.com/doppelganger...

A German woman was sentenced to life for murdering her lookalike. The victim's family in Algeria only found out about the verdict weeks later.

So happy to have been highly commended at the British Journalism Awards for our story on gender-affirming surgeries in Iran. Huge congrats to Panorama on the win!

Next up is Social Affairs, Diversity & Inclusion Journalism and two more highly commendeds: @fwabikay.bsky.social of @farmersweeklyuk.bsky.social AND @joshuanz.bsky.social, Ida Reihani and Kit Gillet of @businessinsider.com #BritishJournalismAwards

👋 I’m a journalist, based in London, who writes about social affairs, human rights, demography, and world politics. I also read lots of books, watch too much reality TV, and… like long walks on the beach? You can read some of my recent stuff here: www.businessinsider.com/author/joshu...

I’ve been reluctant to post because I’m doing a ~vibe check~ of what flies on Blue Sky
