‘Directors would be like: this is the Asian part’: Slow Horses’ Christopher Chung on battling to become a leading man

My latest article for The Sunday Times www.thetimes.com/culture/book...

The story behind Virginia Woolf’s lost book: ‘It was magical’

Written in her twenties and released next month, The Life of Violet is a tribute to a mentor and early proof of Woolf’s desire to revolutionise fiction

As the head of the Freelance Chapter for Women in Journalism, I wanted to flag up this amazing course that some brilliant journalists are running. I've already signed up. I'm so sick of hearing that AI is coming for my job - now I hope I can gain the AI skills I need to fight back.

The last in Seascape’s ‘I’m obsessed with’ series. We bring you - deep sea sharks. I’ve loved running this series but after more than a year it’s time to wind it up. @donnalferguson.bsky.social has done an amazing job in researching and writing the whole series
