A crime thriller writer and researcher, Meg seeks to confound assumptions about women’s criminality and victimhood, and to challenge revictimisation in concepts of justice.

Lianna is a student in the Writing, Editing and Publishing Masters program at UQ, she hopes to one day be a professional editor, and she's incredibly into genre fiction, particularly science fiction and fantasy.
However, since she sprang fully formed, armed and armoured, from the forehead of Zeus just before this internship started, she doesn't have much to plug.
She placed second in the UQ 50 stories short non-fiction competition, regularly writes her own fiction, edits the work of friends, and is trying to read more often and widely, she swears.
