Miriam Zendle is a freelance journalist specialising in arts, music
and showbiz journalism. She has written for everyone from the Guardian
to the Times and Digital Spy. When not at
work, she can be found at the theatre (chirpy musicals and Shakespeare
are particular favourites) enjoying a cheesy rom-com or out cycling
around Surrey. She is also a keen amateur musician - singing, piano
and recorders - though the thought of getting up on stage and doing it
professionally... well, the less said about that, the better.
