I am a writer, musician and teacher based on unceded melukerdee country in southern lutruwita/Tasmania. My first book, Witches: what women do together, is a celebration of the power and pleasure of women working together, and was published in Australia in March 2019 by Penguin Random House and internationally in January 2020 by Melville House.
My essays and cultural criticism have been published in The Guardian, The Lifted Brow, Overland, The Griffith Review and Kill Your Darlings, among others. I make a podcast about creative writing called First Word, and edit a journal of first-time writers’ work called the First Word Journal (you can submit your own work here).
I am currently writing my first novel, a work of speculative fiction based on my research into the botany of the future. The rest of my time I spend gardening and thinking about Kate Bush.
