Hiya! I’ve been a freelance journalist, editor and researcher for eight years, specialising in sex, relationships and a little bit of social class.
You can find my words in the likes of VICE, Refinery29, i-D, Vogue, Glamour, Dazed, Mashable, The Face, i-D, Cosmopolitan, Women’s Health, The Guardian, The Independent, iPaper and more.
I also work as a development producer and researcher, with my TV and podcast projects include commercial, documentary and news, and have played on Channel Four, BBC and Bumble.
In May 2024, my debut book, Sluts: The Truth About Slutshaming & How to Solve It will be published by Penguin - an investigation into the origins of slutshaming, how its managed to stick around for so long, the effects slutshaming has on marginalised communities and how we can fight back.

The Truth About Slutshaming & What We Can Do To Solve It
My debut book, Sluts: The Truth About Slutshaming & What We Can Do To Solve It, will be published by Penguin on May 9th 2024, and is available for pre-order now.
What is a slut? Where did the word come from? And what do the Jonas Brothers, TikTok and Shakespeare have to do with it? Beth Ashley has the answers in this eye-opening account of slushaming through the ages and how it’s changed over time but still affects us in the 21st century.
Packed with informed research and statistics, real-life interviews and practical tips, Sluts gives us the tools to identify and deal with slutshaming, rethink the ideas that encourage us to shame those who are sexually expressive and empower us to have open conversations about sex.
