Features and Opinion Writer

Holly Baxter is a senior reporter at The Independent in New York City, who primarily focuses on long-form features and political humor op-eds. She is the author of one novel, 'Clickbait' (2024) and a non-fiction feminist satire book, 'The Vagenda' (2014). She was the US Politics Editor during the 2024 election and has worked at various publications including The Guardian and The New Statesman. Holly was previously based in The Independent's London office, where she led the Opinion section during the days of Brexit, and moved to the US to cover the 2020 election with promises of moving back to Europe once things settled down in America. Needless to say, she's still here.
