Samar Sadullah

Content feature & Brand Writer

United Kingdom

Staring my career at 16, I wrote my first articles for local newspaper Express & Star in my quaint hometown of Stafford. Once completing my degree in Cultural Studies and Journalism at Staffordshire University, I continued to intern with local publications.

Whilst completing my degree in New Media and Publishing from Leicester University, I landed my first major writing role with the BBC as a fashion columnist, as part of my studies. Shortly after completing my MA I moved to Dubai to work with a Consumer PR Agency - writing a series of press releases, covering fashion, technology and the catering industry. Since returning to the UK, I have worked on a freelance and permanent basis with a variety of publications - with my work being published in Asian Woman/Asian Bride magazine, BBC Asian Network, Sales Gossip, Cocosa, Miinto UK, Olena Fashion, The Positive Newspaper, Pussycat London, Six Magazine and American Art Forum.
