Rosie Mullender
With almost 20 years' experience writing for national magazines and newspapers under my belt, including a stint as Cosmopolitan's Sex and the Single Girl columnist and two years at the helm of Co-op Food magazine, I went freelance in 2018, writing for publications including The Guardian, The Times, Grazia, Marie Claire and Psychologies.
As a copywriter, I've produced content of all kinds for clients including Mars, All Bar One, Fuller's and MOO, and I'm also an experienced product reviewer. My proudest achievements to date are winning Pointless with my mum, and accidentally going viral during lockdown by pretending to be Samuel Pepys. I recently finished writing my first novel, and am represented by Jo Unwin. Find me on Twitter @Mullies.
