Our second print edition is about to make its way across Australia! As we prepare, we bring you our showcase of talented emerging arts journalists who have come together to share some incredible stories about the new generation of composers, performers, and arts administrators.
Jo is a musician and aspiring author from Hobart, Tasmania. Alongside her work with the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra she is studying creative writing at Southern Cross University. She writes short stories, feature articles and concert reviews, and is currently working on a series of reflections arising from her experience of living with cancer. Her journalism can be found in CutCommon, Limelight, Stringendo and Elephant Journal.
Jo is thrilled to have recently won third prize in the Writers’ Forum short story competition with her story Georgina’s Dilemma. After a lifetime of touring the world with her viola, she has finally settled in a little house by the Mt Wellington fire trail, where she lives in domestic bliss with her two cats. She travels as little as possible. In addition to playing and writing, Jo loves to cook, read and swim.
