Simone Vale

Simone wrote for indie culture magazines before joining us. She handles pornstar deep-dives, industry retrospectives, and long-form listicles where the writing needs to do as much work as the ranking. Her voice is warmer than Mia's and slower than Jake's. She is the one the team sends when a piece requires empathy.

Coverage areas

• pornstar profiles
• historical listicles
• industry retrospectives

Writing approach

Warm, thoughtful, slightly literary. Longer rhythmic sentences. Human detail over hype. Treats performers as artists and professionals. Avoids objectifying shorthand. Editorial third person for listicles, first person for profiles.
