Beyonce.

I’m stoked to announce that Kill Your Darlings journal have taken me on board as their Pop Culture columnist for 2014. This means I’ll be writing short pieces for their blog each fortnight, and my first one was published today – it’s a review of Beyoncé’s new visual album, which she sprung upon fans before Christmas. You can read it here.

I’ve also had a couple of reviews published in Zadok Perspectives, a Christian social issues journal – one review was of three feminist books from last year (Destroying the Joint, Anna Krien’s Night Games, and Women and Power from the Griffith Review) and the other review was of Tim Winton’s Eyrie.

Some exciting news…writing for KYD!

I am hugely honoured to have been offered a position as a columnist on Killings, the Kill Your Darlings blog.

Kill Your Darlings is an independent arts/commentary journal, based in Melbourne and run by a group of young women who are passionate about encouraging fresh new writing, emerging artists, and supporting women in the writing and publishing industry.

My position title is ‘Music, Theatre and Visual Arts Columnist,’ and my first piece is a review of Pop Life: Smash Hits Australia, an anecdotal history of Smash Hits magazine, written by Claire Isaac, David Nichols and Marc Andrews, and published by Affirm Press.

Other pieces I’ve written in the past for Killings question the feminism of Beyonce and investigate the stories of HBO series Treme, and can be read here and here respectively.
