WORK HISTORY
Creative Lead @Fabled Publishing
GB
I manage the development of a broad range of creative works, including novels, articles, screenplays, poetry, lyrics and other artistic projects, from initial conception to final publication. I collaborate with writers to refine and enhance their work, ensuring it is publication-ready through constructive feedback and detailed revisions.In my role, I work with graphic artists, designers, and photography studios globally to create impactful visuals that support and elevate each project. This includes coordinating with international teams, negotiating contracts, and managing budgets to balance cost with quality, ensuring that all visual elements meet project requirements and artistic standards.I lead an in-house team of creative professionals, providing strategic direction, mentorship, and support to foster a collaborative environment. I also oversee the engagement and management of third-party vendors, freelancers, and specialists when additional expertise or resources are needed. This involves careful project planning, resource management, maintaining clear communication to integrate all contributions seamlessly.Additionally, I undertake investigative journalism projects to uncover and report on significant wrongdoing by unethical employers affecting British citizens. This includes conducting thorough research, gathering evidence, interviewing sources, compiling detailed reports to highlight these issues, aiming to inform the public and drive accountability and reform.I handle the copyright registration process for various creative works, ensuring that they are legally protected. I provide expert advice on intellectual property rights, guiding creators through the complexities of copyright laws and registration procedures to protect their work from infringement.My varied busy-role blends creative vision, managerial skills, and investigative diligence to deliver high-quality content while upholding ethical standards and ensuring robust legal protections.
