Clover Hope is a veteran culture writer and editor who traded the stability of a newsroom salary for the “skydiving” thrill of freelance life. After fifteen years climbing the mastheads of Billboard, XXL, Vibe, and Jezebel, she walked away in 2020 to build a portfolio career that spans journalism, teaching at NYU, and high-ticket consulting for brands like Apple and Nike. In this interview, Clover breaks down the math of leaving a six-figure editor job, why she views ghostwriting as a financial “godsend,” and how she structured her savings to survive the leap into independence. If you are wondering how to turn decades of media experience into a sustainable business, this one’s for you.

For her Elle cover story, Odessa A’zion wears Nikita Karizma & Stella McCartney. I love dressing women who are shaping culture in real time. Between 'Marty Supreme' & her role as social influencer Tallulah in Rachel Sennott's 'I Love LA' the world has been A'zion's oyster.
