Me! I’ve never hired a video editor. I’m not sure I ever will. •　What is your job? I’m a self-employed content creator and writer. Most of my week is taken up by video editing (most videos take 15-30 hours, depending on the complexity). •　What is your accent? / Where are you from? I’m from Adelaide, Australia :-) I have an Adelaide accent, although sometimes a tiny bit of Britishness will slip in, or I’ll pronounce something weird because I used to teach American English in Japan. •　Where can I read your writing?
