Neil in a few words
My expertise lies in music, culture, and politics, but I have also written other articles related to sports and other news. I will write well-researched articles that encompass each or all of these topics.
I began my career at leading UK and worldwide publications, such as Dazed Magazine, Crack Magazine, and Singulart. Through these stints, I gained experience in content writing (long and short) and SEO. My latest endeavor is my online music zine, Slim Filter.
My degree in English, Media and Cultural Studies was the catalyst for these fantastic job opportunities. As part of this degree, I wrote an extensively researched piece on the Grime scene in London and how it is politicizing the city's urban youth. I also wrote for my college magazine while attending.
I have been writing blog posts for ten years and have developed a style that is concise yet engaging and informative. I avoid boring the reader and keep their attention with well-written pieces.
I am a fluent English speaker and can deliver fulfilling content in the desired time that you wish.
