About

I write primarily about film and television, though I also write men’s lifestyle pieces. Outlets I have written for include Empire, The Times, The Sunday Times, Time Out, The Telegraph, Guardian Guide, NME, ShortList, House Notes, British GQ, Wired, Q, Esquire, Metro, and The Daily Record.

I also have TV and radio experience, having appeared on BBC, Channel 5 and Sky news programmes, as well as radio shows and podcasts, including The Empire Podcast.

I have extensive experience in copywriting and advertorial, for clients including Warner Bros, Sony, 20th Century Fox, Universal, Topman, Ralph Lauren, Stella Artois, American Express, Marks & Spencer, Gant, Vodafone, and Hendricks.

I am available for commission and always keen to explore new areas. Not stocks and shares, though. I wrote about that once and it was a disaster. If you’d like to contact me, I’m on ollyrichards1@gmail.com.
