Do I have to be an influencer to be a writer now?
It's scary out there!
With vast experience in journalism across various corners of culture and social commentary, Lucy Harbron is a writer - but also an editor, a social media manager, a researcher, and an all-round creative.
After a childhood spent writing short stories, she launched her editorial career at 15 with Kiloran, a magazine founded to platform under-represented artists in the North East. Soon the contributor pool grew to an international collective, delivering six issues all curated, commissioned, edited and designed by Lucy.
After completing an English degree and gaining work as a content writer for E-Commerce brands, her love for music, film and art filtered into her writing. Gaining journalistic by-lines in NME, Clash, Dazed, i-D and beyond, she’s been featured in several of the world’s most renowned culture publications.
The experience also led her to in house roles. As the Editor-In-Chief of Gigwise, she not only commissioned and edited the work of a vast contributor pool, but also designed print magazines and organised its distribution throughout the UK’s best independent venues and record stores. At Far Out Magazine, her roles as New Music Lead and a Staff Writer on the film and music desks captured her passion but also her skills across news, features, interviews and beyond.
Beyond all of that, Lucy writes short stories, poems and her debut novel is currently on submission.
