About / Contact
I'm a freelance writer, primarily pop-media and fiction.
I like loud music and comic books and vampires and tattoos and other things which grownups are supposed to be too clever for, such as obnoxiously lurid hair dyes and staying up past bedtime, which is a bit of a worry because I'm 28 years old.
I live in Melbourne, Australia, where I have a day job as a writer, assistant editor and researcher on the journal Australian Philanthropy.
