Me, mum, and mental illness
A raw insight into my life as a student with a parent suffering from mental illness
About Me
I am a 22 year old freelance journalist, primarily writing for Time Out UK and London. I work weekly across news, arts & culture, on features about Gen Z, and on social media. I'm also a regular contributor to various BBC Radio stations discussing music and youth culture.
If people don't remember me from my hair, they usually remember my uniquely Glaswegian ability to have an opinion on every possible topic.
Having recently graduated with a degree in Film & TV and English literature from the University of Bristol, I'm now actively looking for work.
I'm available for commissions, day-shifts, broadcast work, or just for a chat. To get in touch email me at annierosamac@icloud.com or message me via any social media, linked below. See below for recent examples of my written work.

Kneecap show they've no intention of shutting up during Glasgow show
This gig wasn’t supposed to happen. It was organised in short order just over a month ago in response to Glasgow’s TRNSMT festival dropping Kneecap from its lineup, as the Belfast trio faced mounting criticism and a terrorism charge.

The best live music venues in Glasgow
If people make Glasgow, music is what fuels it. The city's music scene was thriving long before the rest of it had caught up, with places like the Barrowlands and the Old Fruit Market offering locals good, cheap live music when general attitudes of Glasgow were, let's just say, less than favourable.
‘You want me to destroy the hills?’: Count Binface is ready to serve Bristol
He’s conquered galaxies and beaten fascists, but now Count Binface is embarking on his most difficult challenge yet: coming bin-to-face with the British general public.
Six things we learned in conversation with Laura Trevelyan
Not many of us will witness firsthand a world-changing event. Laura Trevelyan has reported on several, and she has great hair. Here are 6 things we learned when we chatted to her last Tuesday.
RIP the fake ID: why young people aren’t going out
You remember the days. Assuring your friend that she looks like her older cousin’s co-worker, especially with a ponytail in. Hovering awkwardly around the corner from the off-license as your one 18-year-old pal does God’s work for the rest of you. The pit in your tummy as you recite a fake birthday to the bouncer of a sticky-floored nightclub – remembering your star sign, memorising your imaginary postcode – and the elated relief when he lets you in with a raised eyebrow and a reluctant nod. Fin
Olivia Rodrigo GUTS World Tour review – the voice of Gen Z girlhood
Perhaps it’s that she, at only 21 years old, still talks like a young girl, asking the crowd if they’re a Pisces and claiming that trading a fan a guitar pick for a one-inch tall Sylvanian Families mouse is “literally the best thing ever”. Perhaps it’s her ability to put voice to universal experiences like heartbreak, jealousy, and betrayal with stark honesty. Or perhaps it’s just the fact that she’s not a very good dancer. Whatever it is, there’s somehow no pretence with Olivia Rodrigo. Her smi
Finding artistic inspiration at home
University is time-consuming. Keeping up with seminars, readings, essays, and lectures whilst attempting to eat some food and maybe shower every day is a more impressive balancing act than tight-roping above New York City.
