Lesbilicious staff

Milly Shaw
Milly is the Editor of Lesbilicious. She commissions articles and organises news, and even writes the odd word on occasion. (The odder the better.) She loves smart pitches, short paragraphs and open skies, and she hates unnecessary exclamation marks, double-female-sign-tattoos and malevolent bus drivers.

Georgia Rooney
Georgia is a writer and Director of Lesbilicious. Due to a background in community development, she is particularly skilled at making banners and getting people to do stuff that they wouldn’t normally do. Georgia likes travelling, preferably by boat, and fainting at gigs. In her school yearbook she was described as ‘the one most likely to work out the meaning of life’. Sadly, she is an existentialist and doesn’t think there is any.

siobhan130Siobhan McGuirk
Siobhan is a freelance writer and filmmaker with strong interests in social anthropology, queer politics and arts. She is a commissioning editor for Red Pepper magazine.

martinaboothMartina Booth
Martina Booth is a journalist who lives in London. Originally from Pontefract (home of Haribo and… that’s all you need to know), she spent six years in Manchester before moving to the capital in 2008. Her favourite book is Jeanette Winterson’s Written on the Body. She is an obsessive reader of newspapers and a very fast walker. David Bowie, Fiona Shaw and Alan Partridge are just some of the many people who make her tick.

lucybrown130Lucy Brown
Lucy is trying to write a novel while doing a PhD in Victorian Literature at the University of Sheffield. She is easily riled by political stupidity, voices her opinions mercilessly and generally bugs those around her by wittering incoherently. She is obsessed with musicals.

tracey_gueTracey Gue
Tracey is an artist, designer and arts workshop facilitator. She loves Montezuma’s chocolate and is a faithful fan of Marc Almond (29 years and counting). Tracey is one of those half techie people who may not know the answer to the problem, but will solve it sooner or later. See for yourself.

ruth-headRuth Pearce
Ruth is a PhD student, queer activist, DJ and promoter. She is currently trying to earn a living of sorts from any kind of freelance work going, but (having realised that there is usually no money in dedicating one’s life to heavy metal) hopes to be a Proper Academic one day. Ruth tends to spend much of her life either in front of a computer screen or shuttling between barely distinguishable city centres.

chloesetterChloe Setter
Professional word-slinger Chloe has got a loaded pun and she’s not afraid to use it. A writer and sub-editor in London, she loves bacon, porridge and music (not always at the same time). Read more from Chloe on her Cloblog.

kimKim Renfrew
Bookworm, good-time girl, class warrior, writer/editor/whatever. Has also written for Diva, Girls Like Us, Amsterdam Weekly, Time Out, Fantastic Man and more. Likes: Serge Gainsbourg, bitterballen, travel guides, pulp fiction (the genre, not the dreary film), jaunty scarves, scent. Doesn’t like: Top Gear, Ugg boots. Has blog, will swap words for money. WLTM commissioning editor with fat cheque book. ALAWP.

Kaite Welsh
Having been a former artists’ model, failed spy and recovering academic, Kaite is now an author, blogger and freelance journalist who writes for a variety of publications including The Guardian, Lesbilicious, Mookychick and The Specialist Paralegal. Her weaknesses include lipgloss, flavoured vodka, TV shows where the sassy grrl sidekick saves the day, angsty girls with guitars and expensive notebooks. Her blog Grandma Was a Suffragette has been quoted in Red magazine.

hilary130Hilary Wardle
Hilary is a freelance entertainment writer and full time stalker of Sue Perkins. As well as writing for Lesbilicious, she maintains her own TV site (Tellysquawks) that takes an entirely non-serious look at a variety of cult, reality and LGBT interest programmes. She likes it when people tweet at her: so please aim said tweets at @Hilary_W.
