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 and neurodivergent 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 have limited capacity for commissions or publicity, however if you’d like to talk about working together please get in touch via email: km@kyliemaslen.com
If you’d like to support my work, I write about health, disability and cultural criticism on Patreon at patreon.com/kyliemaslen
If you’d like to support me in a one-off manner, you can do so via Buy Me a Coffee
I create bookish content on TikTok and log what I’m reading – and nerd out over the stats – on Storygraph
