REBECCA LIU
I am a writer, critic and editor in London. I write essays, reviews, and interviews about books, arts, and cinema.
I am an editor at the Guardian Saturday magazine. My work has been published in the Guardian, the Observer, the New Statesman, the Financial Times, the Times Literary Supplement, ArtReview, Sight & Sound, The Nation, gal-dem (rip), the White Review (also rip). I was previously an assistant editor at Prospect Magazine, and a staff writer at Another Gaze magazine.
​
I am represented by Emma Paterson at Aitken Alexander. This is my half-heartedly maintained Instagram; though I am trying to reach a relationship with my phone that resembles this.
