Editor in Chief
The Monolith.
I co-created an alternative music webzine and cultural hub called The Monolith, because I wanted to gain experience having editorial and operational control, and in dealing with the music industry at that level. Over the course of six years, the site published over 2700 articles. I worked with more than twenty contributors to plan and delegate content production, and then to proofread, edit, input and schedule the content for publication.
I developed style guides for the site, and reviewed applications from potential contributors for suitability.
I personally wrote more than 900 articles, including news posts, reviews of recorded and live music, and other opinion pieces. I also produced long-form feature pieces, and conducted interviews with musical artists like George Watsky, Robin Staps of The Ocean, and other industry professionals such as Basick Records CEO Nathan Phillips.
I ran day-to-day operations such as: commissioning articles; distributing advance review promos; social media management; liaising with PR agents; securing live review access in the United Kingdom, United States and Canada.
I negotiated sponsorship opportunities with a Midlands-based music festival in 2016 and 2017, and curated a one-day concert in conjunction with The MJR Group in London in 2016.
I mentored staff members on good writing practice, style, and spelling and grammar, which allowed them to operate with increased confidence, and improved efficiency by reducing the time needed to review and edit submissions before publication.
I also assisted with PR for the site's sister label Monolithic Records, including writing a successful crowd-funding campaign which raised $5,000 for American duo Sockweb.
