Bio

Sidney is a 21-year-old Melbourne based writer currently in her second year of Creative Writing and French at RMIT University. She likes to make things unnecessarily hard for herself and share her baking, most of which is procrasti-baking the night before assignments are due. Through her work she seeks to explore themes of identity, femininity and mental health. Expressing herself through poetry is a form of personal healing and she hopes others find peace in her words. Indecision is a big issue for her and her list of favourite authors is constantly being revised. She admires writers who challenge the rules of their form and go against the commercialised novel form. Her work can be found in The Gazette, Vantage Point and on the Glen Eira Literary Awards site.
