Hey there! I’m a writer, editor, content creator and cultural critic based in Brisbane, Australia.

I’ve worked professionally in the space for over ten years and am passionate about making a positive impact through the power of storytelling. 

Longtime lover of a well-made Old Fashioned, I’m interested in culture, sustainability, travel, music, film, art and literature. Above all, I love telling human stories that reflect the world in which we live. 

Most recently I worked as the editor of indie print mag Peppermint where I was shortlisted for Young Writer of the Year by the Mumbrella Publish Awards. Prior to this, I was the Brisbane editor at street press magazine The Music and have served as a judge for both the Australian Music Prize and Queensland Music Awards. 

I’m available for freelance and contract feature and copywriting, as well as subediting and proofreading. Feel free to get in touch and say g’day by sending an email to hello@baxterlauren.com.
