"I am excited to be working with him and know the Alice fans will welcome him with mad affection."

Although we haven’t seen Alice and her twisted version 🧔of Wonderland🐎 since 2011, that doesn’t mean the series is over.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped tꦯo release a number of indie title♓s. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training.  My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I'm also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
