Magda Knight – Editor. Copywriter. Marketer. SEO/UX.
Hello. I’m Magda Knight and I’m a freelance editor with a strong digital background and SEO expertise. Find out more about my freelance editorial services! To learn more about my writing and my approach to what I do, read on.
As an online editor, the key sectors I’ve worked in are youth, employment, education, lifestyle and entertainment. I’ve worked with small companies, agencies, charities, and spent nearly a decade at IPC Media, where I was given the title of ‘SEO champion’ (yes, people handed out titles like that back then) and gave a presentation inspiring editors to embrace the transition from print to online.
I take a strategic approach to content, from creating new channels and campaigns to writing search-friendly copy that a reader might care about. I like putting people first, but backing up the content with technical sensibilities.
I’ve written numerous features for a range of publications, most recently Stylist Magazine. I’m also the founding editor-in-chief of Mookychick.co.uk, an alternative lifestyle magazine for young women which launched in 2005. It’s grown into a strong brand in its field with a loyal audience and high traffic. Most importantly, it’s nurtured a wonderful community of women who empower each other on a daily basis.
Wait! Don’t you also write books and things?
Yes! I’m also a speculative fiction author, and you can see a selection of my published work here. My work has been shortlisted for several awards and is appearing in an upcoming anthology of YA writers to watch out for.
If you have any queries, I’d love to hear from you. Please get in touch via editor@mookychick.co.uk.
Yay got here first 🙂 I win!
Just thought I’d pop a little note here.
I haven’t written for Mooks in ages, but I still love to read it. I’ve never even seen this blog before (and indeed rarely blog myself anymore, boo!) but I’m mighty glad I did. It’s fun to see other would-be-should-be authors talking about their books and the quest for finding an agent. Your novels look absolutely fantastic.
