Sandi Sieger started writing when she was six years old. She has the first journal she ever wrote in, which declared, ‘When I grow up I want to be a writer,’ and included sentiments such as, ‘If some kid ever beat me in a running race, I’d probably bash them up.’
She is now a writer and editor based in Melbourne. She is the Director and Editor-In-Chief of Onya Magazine, the General Manager at White Echo and the S of O&S Publishing. In 2011, Sandi founded The Melbourne Writers’ Club. She has a Bachelor of Arts (Cultural Studies and Cinema Studies) from Melbourne University, and a Postgraduate Diploma in Media Production from RMIT University.
When not writing, editing or fiddling with her camera, Sandi can be found coordinating a youth program named Camp Awakenings, cooking, reading, enjoying live music, watching films and laughing over a vegetable stack with friends.
Sandi plans to remain blissfully content, rebellious and passionate for her entire life. She is not usually very far away from her MacBook Pro, Canon EOS and retro printed notebook (or seven). She loves seeing ink marks around her forefinger and has a terrible habit of making lists.

Glenn is a Libran and, like most Librans, is incredibly indecisive. However, there are some things he doesn’t have to second-guess. One such thing is his love of film in its many incarnations. He has a passion for Australian cinema and thinks you should too. Of course, his affection for movies doesn’t end there. He is just as likely to hail the abundance of treasures buried within Showgirls as he is likely to wax lyrical on the virtues of the latest depressing European arthouse film.
Hailing from Melbourne via Geelong (home town to Portia De Rossi), Glenn is an active blogger and is well versed in the financial hardships that come along with it. To quote the immortal Dolly Parton in 9 to 5– he’s just waiting for the day his ship will come in. A big, pretty ship that screens movies in its world class screening room 24 hours a day with an endless supply of Maltesers…of course.
You can read Glenn’s reviews and work on his blog Stale Popcorn.
Holly Curtis is a Journalism student at Monash University who never realised how difficult it was to define oneself in less than 100 words. Perpetually organising and constantly writing lists, she finds the misuse of basic grammar such as your vs. you’re more painful than nails down a chalkboard. Interested in all things lifestyle and beauty (not exclusively), she finds incredible joy in beautifully packaged products. Especially those that remind her of Paris, which she misses dearly.

Kait O’Callahan moved from New Zealand to Australia in 2009 due to her love of sport. She considers Melbourne Park her second home and can be found watching a multitude of sports at all hours, sometimes even simultaneously. A spontaneous career choice led her down the path of health and she works full time as a radiographer to pay the bills. Writing about health and sport are her specialities, but like most creative types, she has an opinion on almost anything. Her musings on the game of tennis can be found at Any Given Surface.
Some girls like fashion, some girls like food. Normally these two things are mutually exclusive but as a dedicated Generation Y-er, Sarah figures why can’t she have both? Hailing from the quiet outer suburbs of Melbourne, Sarah studied marketing and media at university, before venturing to the big city for a real job. She has never looked back, finding the fast paced cosmopolitan lifestyle very much to her liking.
A lover of all things fashion and food, Sarah enjoys exploring the city and taking trips to weekender destinations to further experience all that Victoria has to offer. Sarah is currently studying fashion in the evenings and in her ‘spare time’, she likes to shop and eat.
You can read more of Sarah’s work on her blog Sarah’s Style Emporium.
