As a freelancer, I have contributed features for national titles including Stylist (cover feature), OK! Magazine and Soaplife. Freelance editor: I have recently assisted on non-fiction books by investigative journalists including Julie Bindel and Rose George, as well as popular ultrarunner Ira Rainey… among all sorts of others. Public speaker: I have appeared on numerous TV and radio shows including on BBC and ITV. I have also chaired Q&As and panels for organisations including Bristol Old Vic, Bristol Ideas, literature festivals and more; and have been a speaker at many events including the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Comedy: I founded the award-winning What The Frock! Comedy project in 2012 to challenge an industry that knowingly overlooks female talent, and wrote The What The Frock! Book of Funny Women. Education: My BA is in Media & Cultural Studies (2000) and I hold two MAs: one in Modern & Contemporary Literature (2008) and another in Cinema Studies (2009). I am a qualified magazine journalist (2001). https://www.janeduffus.com/invite-jane-to-talk daily 0.75 2024-09-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b1a913db98a784a1c2134f5/1529509598605-F68OGHBU242P29QGGJNO/20180510_222254.jpg Invite Jane to Talk https://www.janeduffus.com/past-talks daily 0.75 2025-12-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b1a913db98a784a1c2134f5/1528556711548-FKNA53XM3SA9V4PR1VH6/DSC_3237+copy.jpg Past Talks https://www.janeduffus.com/contact daily 0.75 2018-08-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b1a913db98a784a1c2134f5/1529531387833-NMIMK88FH9ZP8Q9O1CFK/alphabets-assorted-design-1029806.jpg Contact https://www.janeduffus.com/take-action daily 0.75 2013-12-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a74d9ae4b0253945d2aee9/1390597413198-XUEB2J3138YBEXDCIMC0/tumblr_migjb4LxOB1rkz363o2_1280.jpg Take Action https://www.janeduffus.com/home daily 1.0 2025-12-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b1a913db98a784a1c2134f5/a54ba102-8d26-4b01-8908-8ea973ed2373/20250303+-+Duffus+Book+BOV+-++%40JonCraig_Photos++14.jpg Home - JANE DUFFUS: I have worked in journalism/publishing for more than 25 years, whether on bestselling newsstand magazines or as the author of seven (count ‘em!) books about social history.
