Hello! I’m Kylie Maslen, a writer and critic living on Country stolen from the Kaurna people of the Adelaide plains. I identify as a disabled person and my pronouns are they/she.
My first book – SHOW ME WHERE IT HURTS: LIVING WITH INVISIBLE ILLNESS – is out through Text Publishing. You can find out more about it as well as critical responses here.
I have contributed an essay on The Club to Melbourne International Film Festival’s MELBOURNE ON FILM: CINEMA THAT DEFINES OUR CITY, published by Black Inc. in August 2022.
I write essays, features and reviews that cover subjects including health and disability, the arts, feminism and social justice. Sometimes people even let me write about the footy. You can find links to my work here.
I’m currently writing my second book (ooh, suspense), yelling at the footy, dreaming of warm summer days spent swimming at Adelaide’s beautiful metropolitan beaches, or reading in little patches of sunshine.
If you’d like to talk about working together, please get in touch via email: km@kyliemaslen.com
If you’d like to contact me regarding my book or appearances, please email my publicist – Emily Booth – at Text Publishing: Emily.Booth@textpublishing.com.au

I log what I’m reading – and nerd out over the stats – on Storygraph
