Rebecca Judd

Features editor and freelance writer

Canada

I'm the features editor of Also Cool Mag, a DIY arts publication, events series, and radio show based in Canada. In this role, I regularly contribute articles on music and culture, edit and publish contributor pieces, and manage other aspects of the magazine such as social media and email marketing.

Aside from Also Cool, I'm a freelance journalist and multidisciplinary writer. My freelance work has been featured on Local Wolves, Recording Arts Canada, and Nosy Mag. My poetry and photography have appeared in places like Grain of Salt Mag, Apt613, and Into Existence Zine.

I'm incredibly passionate about sustaining and celebrating the creative forces that make our communities a brighter place.
