Researching Systems, Investigating Power, Creating Impact

The Medusa Code

Fiction that unsettles, lingers, and resists. A departure from my journalism background, The Medusa Code is where feminist dystopia, literary noir, and speculative futures converge. Currently writing The Shadow Tribunal, a novel about justice, betrayal, and power in a collapsing world. Some stories refuse to stay buried, this is where they surface.

 Journalist, Feminist, Author

Inge Snip is a seasoned investigative journalist and editor with a track record of shaping digital policy, strengthening press freedoms, and innovating donor strategies on a global scale. Now, she’s also exploring fiction, where dystopia, feminism, and noir intersect to reimagine power, resistance, and survival.

Since 2014, she has been pivotal in driving digital policy changes at Edgeryders, particularly through the NGI Forward project, influencing significant EU legislation like the AI Act. Her recent advocacy with the Coalition For Women In Journalism has been crucial in strengthening the EU Anti-SLAPP Directive, safeguarding journalists against legal intimidation.

From 2020 to 2022, her investigative work with OpenDemocracy exposed harmful practices like abortion reversal treatments in the UK, leading to policy revisions. At UNDP (2016-2017), she pioneered donor engagement strategies that fostered more inclusive development funding mechanisms, models now adopted by multiple international donors.

Beyond journalism, Inge’s writing continues to examine power, control, and the erosion of rights. The Medusa Code, her fiction project, blends feminist dystopia, literary noir, and speculative futures. She is currently working on The Shadow Tribunal, a novel set in a fractured world where justice is redefined by those left to pick up the pieces.

Her investigative work has shaped policy. Her fiction asks what happens when policy fails.
