About Mia
Mia writes for fandoms. Whether it is a K-pop group, a film franchise or a game with a loyal following, the people searching for pictures already know the subject better than most writers do, and they notice instantly when a gallery gets the details wrong.
She came to the work through entertainment blogging in French and English, writing release round-ups and fan explainers. That habit of checking every name, date and era against official sources carries straight into the galleries she writes now.
Four years in, she plans pop-culture galleries, writes their copy and keeps them current when a new season or comeback lands.
What she works on
- K-pop and music fandom galleries
- Film, series and gaming picture sets
- Matching and group PFP collections
- Fact-checking names, eras and releases
- Updating galleries after new releases
Background
How she got here
Education
Bachelor’s degree in Modern Languages (English and Korean) with cultural studies.
Early work
Bilingual entertainment blogging — release round-ups, fan explainers and translations.
Into image content
Fandom picture galleries for image sites, where getting an era or member right matters to every reader.
Now
Pop-culture galleries for client sites at Infinity Linkers, within the Image Content team.
Her team
Image Content team
Mia reports to Vanya Rose, Head of Image Content. She splits fandom work with Aiko Tanaka, who leads on anime, and checks celebrity details with Hira Saleem in the Celebrity & Entertainment team.
Approach
Respect the fans’ knowledge
Mia assumes the reader knows the subject at least as well as she does. That keeps her captions specific and her facts checked, and it stops a gallery from sounding like it was written by someone who only skimmed the fandom.
Outside work she learns choreography badly but enthusiastically, collects concert ticket stubs and bakes for anyone who will taste-test.
