Jonathon Wilson

Jonathon Wilson is one of Ready Steady Cut’s co-founders and has been an instrumental member of the team since its inception in 2017, with a leading role as Senior Editor.

After leaving college, Jonathon ventured into freelance writing to develop a portfolio. He was commissioned in multiple digital and print magazines for fiction and criticism before eventually pivoting to a more managerial role as the News Editor of a video game start-up (Pixels or Death).

In 2015, Jonathon published his first book, “Disfigured,” which is available digitally on Amazon.

Since helping to establish Ready Steady Cut in 2017, Jonathon has remained involved in all aspects of the site’s operation, mainly dedicated to its content output. He remains one of its primary Entertainment writers while also functioning as our dedicated Commissioning Editor, publishing over 6,500 articles. His coverage includes film, TV, entertainment, anime, true crime, and K-drama.

Jonathon’s experience and expertise in contemporary media allow him to assist our writers in producing the highest quality content tailored for savvy modern audiences.
