Hello! My name is Kylie Matthews and I'm a respected career journalist with over 20 years experience in media and book publishing in Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.
My writing has appeared in an array of high profile print and online publications around the world, including Australia's number one news site, news.com.au, esteemed consumer advocacy publication CHOICE magazine, leading parenting website kidspot.com.au, Body and Soul, Marie Claire and republished in The New York Post and The New Zealand Herald.
I'm regularly commissioned by newspapers, online publications, magazines, websites, book publishers, universities and private businesses to write and edit news and feature articles, books, web copy, course guides, marketing materials, product descriptions and even wine tasting notes.
I also author books for Melbourne publisher Bounce Books (Hyphen) and write English language course books for academic publishers all over the world.
Over the course of my career, I've been employed and contracted by publishers and media outlets in Australia and abroad, including Simon & Schuster Australia, Macmillan Education (Oxford UK), Routledge (Oxford UK), Fairfax Media, Bauer Media, Pacific Magazines and News Corp.
Whether I'm writing feature articles, opinion pieces, breaking news, web copy, comprehensive histories and guide books - or copyediting and proofreading books for publishers, theses for academics, course guides for universities or news stories for online publications - it's always my priority to produce high quality, accurate and effective copy that exceeds expectations.
I have an excellent interviewing style and, with extensive daily newspaper experience, know how to meet a tight deadline. I pride myself on versatility and an ability to adopt writing styles to appeal to and connect with varying audiences.
Originally from Melbourne, I've travelled extensively and lived and worked overseas several times. I'm now based in the beautiful Southern Highlands of New South Wales with my husband, our two children and a menagerie of beloved pets.
