Jane Bradley is a freelance journalist and author living in South East London, which is nowhere near as bad as it’s painted. She has previously been published in Time Out, Mslexia and London music newspaper The Stool Pigeon. As well as writing for The London Word, she regularly contributes to Domestic Sluttery, BitchBuzz, and Lesblicious. She’s also the author of online experimental fiction project Aimee & Alicia. Her love of writing is matched only by her passion for vintage frocks, lemon cheesecake, Jeffrey Eugenides’ novels and having filthy daydreams about Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler.
