Editor & Founder

Thousand Lives

Violet started her own Medium publication in December 2020, after being on the platform for just a few months. She now manages a small pool of writers and is trying to expand the readership through social media, and of course, spreading a sheer love, appreciation and passion for books and all things literary.

Backbench UK, Editor 2019-2020

Whilst Violet was an editor for Backbench, she edited submissions to a high standard, using WordPress and shared content across Backbench’s social media platforms. Part of her role was also to provide writers with feedback on their work. During important political events, such as the last US Election, she took part in live Tweeting/reporting for Backench on their Twitter account.

The Yorker UK Editorial Director 2017-19

Within her role as Editor, it was Violet’s job to oversee the complete running of the company as well as editorial matters. She was the main port of communication for writers, section editors, business staff, companies and the press, including regularly representing The Yorker as a company.

It was also her responsibility to write regularly and ensure the writing of others was of high quality. She also conducted regular editorial and business meetings and was responsible for the vast majority of the administration of the company. She worked in close conjunction with both section editors and business members to ensure that The Yorker maintained its readership and ran as smoothly as possible.
