I’m a multimedia journalist, currently working as the climate editor at gal-dem.
Elsewhere, I freelance as a writer, host, speaker and podcaster. I enjoy writing and editing reported features and opinion on art, digital culture, popular culture, lifestyle, history and politics. I write for a variety of exciting publications including The Guardian, VICE, DAZED, Huck Magazine, Elephant Magazine, THE FACE and more.
Previously, I was the host of the podcast Broccoli Book Club and the award-winning podcast Your Broccoli Weekly.
I was born in Uzbekistan and moved to the UK at a young age. I’m a native speaker of Russian and Uzbek (although the latter is very rusty.)
If you’d like to commission me or contact me about an exciting project, please email diyora.shadijanova@gmail.com. Please note, I do not accept unpaid work or speaking requests.
I am represented by Emma Bal at the Madeleine Milburn Literary Agency.
