About

Writing and sharing stories is my work, from Instagram to arts journalism, film criticism, cultural commentary and creative non fiction.I started out many years ago with a PhD on Australian cinema, arguing for the need to protect and support our national film industry. I still believe in the importance of telling our own stories, and the essential role a healthy arts sector plays in creating the Good Life for all people. Whether I'm writing sponsored copy, interviewing policy-makers or reporting the news, the truth matters to me. I know how important it is to get the facts right and the quotes accurate, and to express the message with clarity, elegance and just the right tone for the occasion.I'm currently Screen Content Lead at ScreenHub. I was previously ArtsHub Group's Education and Career Editor. My work as a screen journalist and editor has taken me across the Big Issue, SBS Movies and AACTA. I co-hosted Australia's longest-running film podcast 'Hell is for Hyphenates' and I've written a memoir, Fallen, published by Affirm Press. I have another book on the way, a novel, DOUBLE HAPPINESS, published by Midnight Sun on 1 October 2024.
