ABOUT...

Kylie Matthews

I'm a respected career journalist with over 20 years experience in media and book publishing in Australia, NZ and the UK. 


Based in the beautiful Southern Highlands of NSW, Australia, I'm regularly commissioned by newspapers, magazines, websites, book publishers, universities and private businesses to  write, produce and edit copy that shines.


Whether writing feature articles, opinion pieces, breaking news, web copy, comprehensive histories, guidebooks - or copyediting and proofreading books for publishers, theses for academics, course guides for universities and news stories for online publications - it's always my priority to produce high quality, accurate and effective copy that exceeds expectations.

I've had the pleasure of working with Kylie over the past four years, during which time she's worked on a regular basis as a freelance writer and sub-editor. Kylie's work is always completed to an incredibly high standard. She's a brilliant and proactive writer who needs little - if any - direction. Her articles always meet the brief and she has an exceptional understanding of her audience. She's meticulous and organised, the perfect sub-editor. Most importantly she's easy-going and just a top chick. I couldn't recommend her more.

Kylie is utterly reliable as a journalist, editor and sub. She’s one of those rare breeds who can turn her hand to anything and be trusted to get the job done to the highest of standards, on time, on budget and with a smile on her face. She has enormous integrity too which makes her a pleasure to work with. I have worked with Kylie for years now on various titles and platforms and would not hesitate to use her skills again.

As the owner of a storytelling business, you need great writers. But more than that, you need great writers who are excellent at interviewing, are professional, and who can meet deadlines. Those people are rare, but Kylie is one of them. She consistently creates compelling content for Hyphen and engages the client the whole way through. She's a keeper!

There are plenty of talented writers and editors in the world. There are plenty of reliable, easy-to-work with writers and editors, too. Rarely, however, do you get one person who is all of those things. Kylie Matthews is just that, which is why she is my go-to for freelance editorial services and has been for many years, across many different roles, for both print and digital content.

I had the great privilege of working with Kylie during my time as Parenting Editor at Kidspot where she was our much loved, much needed, much revered sub-editor! An exceptional writer herself, Kylie's attention to detail and sensitivity to the flow of language made our whole team much better writers. In addition, she provided excellent news sense and sound editorial judgement. Now a good friend, I find Kylie to be an exceptional sounding board for developing editorial and creative concepts and just a kind, patient and genuine soul. All very rare qualities in this world.
