Mel Bradman

Mel Bradman has more than 20 years experience as a writer, journalist and editor, in national newspapers and for independent publishing companies.

In her early career as a music journalist for NME and VOX, after studying business and communication, she interviewed everyone from Bryan Adams and Iron Maiden to Led Zeppelin and Patti Smith. As a writer and editor at the Sunday Times Magazine in London, she managed a team of editors and wrote travel features, celebrity interviews (undisputed highlight: Rafa Nadal) and reportage.

Since going freelance in 2016, Mel has worked across the board on national newspapers in the UK, from the Guardian and Observer to the Telegraph, Financial Times and Daily Mail. She has also continued her travel writing for the Telegraph and its skiing/snowboarding offshoot.

She has contributed to Think since 2020, and currently divides her time between business writing and newspaper editing. She speaks almost-fluent French, and spends a portion of each year studying the language in a different region of France as well as travelling for work and pleasure in Australia, Asia and many other parts of the world.
