THE Team
AMY MAE BAXTER
Founder and Editor-in-Chief
Amy is an Assistant Editor at Hachette (Little, Brown, Dialogue, Virago) and is pleasantly surprised that other people seem to be as interested in Black, Asian, and marginalised community book reviews as she is. Her dream is that books by marginalised community writers will become so ubiquitous Bad Form is made redundant. She is unsure if that will ever be realised.
Please contact me about events, partnerships, advertising, and anything else Bad Form related!

SOPHIE MARIE NIANG
Sophie is a Black feminist writer and researcher whose work focuses on blackness in Europe, worldmaking and futurity. She is a proud believer in the beauty of books, the magic of food and the power of disco!
MORGAN CORMACK
Having been asked “where are you really from” most of her life, Morgan hopes to one day publish a book around the nuances of the mixed-race experience. If she’s not working through her ever-growing book list, you can find her writing articles about social and political issues she cares deeply about.
EMMA LUBEGA
Emma is an English grad currently living in South London, working as a Publicity Assistant at Penguin Press , and trying to never hear the phrase ‘diversity and inclusion’ again.
Since joining the few other brown English students in the Postcolonial seminar room and sharing what felt like a collective sigh of relief, she's been on the lookout for the rare spaces which can match such a precious vibe. Her dream is to one day recreate this in a UK-based Black and brown women’s ski club.
BILLI JONES
Editor
Billi is a Art graduate based in Kent and would best describe herself as a creative, in other words, she refuses to pick a favourite activity between writing, painting and drawing. Her goal is to create and exist within spaces where the voices of marginalised individuals are amplified and their experiences are recognised until the day that those spaces no longer need to exist. Aside from reading, writing and making art you can also find Billi playing games, tending to her excessive house plant collection or stopping her rabbits from eating said plants.
