Laura Holliday is a freelance journalist, researcher and writer based in London, UK. Her work primarily explores the online world — especially where this intersects with the strange and esoteric — including internet mysteries and lost media, niche communities, and digital true crime. Her reporting has appeared in Vice, Dazed, Wired, and The Daily Dot, as well as various indie mags both digitally and in print.  

Her research and scriptwriting has appeared on YouTube — including for creators Nexpo (3.71 million subscribers) who covers dark internet rabbit holes, and Izzzyzzz (1.05 mil subscribers) who covers internet nostalgia and weird online trends. She has also been featured on the podcast Something Offbeat, as well as in several newsletter roundups.

Outside of writing and investigating, Laura's fave things include: classic Tomb Raider, liminal spaces, prestige 90s/00s TV dramas (she is currently making her way through The Sopranos), iced coffee, Black Country New Road, getting lost in new cities, and hanging out with her cat. If she could describe herself in one word, it would be: UNLOCK.
