British Society of Magazine Editors

What an unforgettable night. Yesterday was the BSME 2026 Talent Awards, where the magazine industry came together to celebrate each other, hosted by @thesciencedaddy and @kemirodgers with the brilliant interviewer and comedian @daisydorismay As our 2026 Chair Dan Green said, the night is ‘not just about handing out awards. They’re about the people. The people behind the magazines, the subs, the deputy editors, the new writers, the picture editors, the designers.’ A lot of laughs, a lot of cheers, a lot of love. There’s no other industry we’d be a part of. The entries for the 2027 BSME Talent Awards open in January. See you next year 💛

@mscaitlinmoran has done a lot - written many books and columns, partied with Lady Gaga, but now something even more exciting: launching the BSME Young Writes Prize. Applications are officially open. If you’re 18-25, obsessed with a good story and brilliant at writing, we’d love to hear from you. You can enter on our website or find the form linked in our bio.
