Imogen Carter

Imogen Carter is a co-founder and editor of the Nerve, a new, fearless, independent media title launched in September by an all-female team of five former Guardian and Observer journalists including the investigative journalist Carole Cadwalladr. The Nerve covers culture, politics and tech via newsletters, a website, social media and live events.

Prior to the Nerve, Imogen was a senior editor on the Observer newspaper’s award-winning New Review section where she oversaw the paper’s film coverage in print and on digital for almost a decade including interviews, features, guest edits and a team of critics including Mark Kermode, Wendy Ide and Guy Lodge. 

She has written about culture for publications such as the Guardian, the New Statesman, the Telegraph and the BBC, and previously worked in arts TV including on BBC Two's The Culture Show. 

Now based in London, Imogen grew up in North Wales where she was a member of Clwyd Youth Theatre.
