EDITING
EDITING
I enjoy working with writers to tell stories and help develop their pitches and ideas. Between 2017- 2022 I was the Editor-in-chief for PLASMA Magazine, where I edited articles and interviews for the print and online issues, as well as commissioned journalistic features within the worlds of technology, science and fine art. At PLASMA I built a worldwide network of global contributors exploring fascinating stories from LA to Berlin.
I also work as a proofreader and consultant helping other writers sharpen their writing and create compelling narratives. Here’s a selection of printed materials I’ve edited in the past years.
PLASMA 6
PLASMA 6 turns its gaze towards the pale blue dot. This issue’s Earth-centric focus is highlighted by articles featuring everything from environmental issues to artistic perspectives, and ultimately sheds a new light on the meaning of our space endeavors. To better understand their motivations, we spoke to the engineers behind the latest SpaceX Dragon missions and inspiring women in STEM. The magazine also warns us about the rising of ocean levels in Greenland, jumps into into the physics of time travel and explores the alternative realities of Rick & Morty’ s universe.
PLASMA 5
PLASMA 5 delves into the exciting science research being done from Berlin to LA, highlighting the personalities of those behind it. A testament to living and breathing the unimaginable. To making the impossible, possible. PLASMA 5 is a thrilling journey through the work and minds of all kinds of humans, whether they be artists, scientists, or both. PLASMA 5 is the platform for creatives to speak about meaning their work and express the boldness of their personalities.
PLASMA 4
Plasma 4 is focused on space exploration, AI, bionics and technology in art. The content ranges from NASA, ESA, SPACEX, CALTECH to art-sience institutions such as The Museum of Jurrasic Technology, MONA, Futurium and Garage Museum.
COSMIC DRIVE

“Cosmic Drive primarily explores the way humans handle ignorance,” says Katinka Schuett of her Female in Focus winning series, which examines the contradictory spheres of fantasy and hard science. “I am interested in our perceptions of space, and the question of whether or not life can be found in the universe.” Schuett is as concerned with fantasy as she is with facts, merging the two to consider the illusions we create when there is a void of information.
The photographer’s interest in outer space was initially people-driven – she began Cosmic Drive by photographing people who catalogued possible UFO sightings and extraterrestrial phenomena in Germany. “I’m fascinated by humans’ preoccupation with things that are not visible or tangible,” explains Schuett.
