About
Holly Thomas
Culture Editor
Holly is a second year English and Creative Writing student here at Swansea. She got involved with the culture section of Front in her first year, mostly writing small articles and reviews. After some persuasion she applied for the position of Culture Editor, which she now holds with her co-editor Kate Fletcher.
As well as being a great asset to her degree, her job provides her with the excuse to blag free books, gig tickets, meals or anything else remotely cultural. During her time at Front, she has covered the first EDS Dylan Thomas Prize, established a regular ‘Food and Drink’ and book review section, encouraged new student writers with contests and articles, and developed a liking for after-meeting, alcohol fuelled arm-wrestling tournaments with various members of the Waterfront team.
