Working as a Freelance Writer for Gamezo was my first job as a journalist.
Have you ever used a typewriter?
Once! They jam up a lot, in my opinion.

J. Jonah. Jameson.
What does it mean to be a journalist?
It means contributing positively to whichever discourse surrounds the topic you're writing about.
How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?
With a simple motive and subject, avoiding click-bait.
What tools and software do you use to do your job?
Google Docs, Grammarly, anything else the internet has that is relevant at the time.
What's your favorite social network?
Twitter.
Who do you wish followed you?
Probably Tamoor Hussain from IGN, to be honest.
Why did you become a journalist?
Because I enjoy sharing my written work and generating a discourse in areas aren't always focused on, although that is sometimes difficult.
Did you work for your high school newspaper? If so, what did you do there?
Nope, sadly my venture into journalism was after that.

I think my series on Virtual Photography is the one I am most proud of, as it is shining a light on an under-appreciated subculture.

In front of my PlayStation 4.
