Let’s write.

Caitlin is a writer from Naarm (Melbourne) whose fiction blends comedy and pathos to explore themes of female subjectivity, identity, and subversion; while her articles and reviews focus on current events, the arts, and pop-culture.

Her love for storytelling began while undertaking a Bachelor of Film and Television, where she wrote and directed several short films. After graduating, she spent some time in Los Angeles producing independent films and writing screenplays. In 2019, her 60-minute T.V. pilot, ‘Welcome to Willows Creek’, won the Grand Jury Prize at the Hollywood C&F Screenwriting Competition.

Her writing has been published in Australia’s Style Magazine, ArtsHub, Lip Mag, The Blue Nib Literary Magazine, Intrepid Times, among others. Her stand-up comedy reviews were highly praised at the 2023 Melbourne International Comedy Festival, taking home the Funny Tonne Award.

Currently, Caitlin is undertaking a PhD at the University of Sydney. This research focuses on the lived experiences of women in cults and new religious movements through autoethnographic practices.

She is an ongoing editor for Louder and has also worked for Deakin University’s Wordly Magazine and contributed as a poetry guest editor for The University of Newcastle's postgrad journal SWAMP.
