Anahit Behrooz is a writer, editor, and journalist based in Edinburgh.
I am the author of BFFs: The Radical Potential of Female Friendship, out with 404 Ink. I also write extensively on film, literature, and cultural politics for publications such as i-D, Little White Lies, AnOther Magazine, gal-dem, The Big Issue, and Girls on Tops.
I currently work as Books Editor and Events Editor at The Skinny, and have worked as a commissioning editor at Bella Caledonia on a year-long project exploring decolonisation in the Scottish arts. I also regularly cover festivals such as Venice Film Festival, London Film Festival, Edinburgh International Book Festival and the Edinburgh Fringe.
As well as writing and editorial work, I have appeared on and chaired events at The British Library, Glasgow Film Festival, Edinburgh International Film Festival, and the Edinburgh International Book Festival amongst others. I am also one of the hosts of the CineSkinny, The Skinny’s dedicated film podcast.
You can find me (chaotically) on Twitter, Instagram, and Letterboxd.
