Beejay Silcox is a book critic. Her work is celebrated for its resolute – some might say foolhardy – honesty. She has been described as “the most significant new Australian critic in decades”. Beyond the page, she is a literary polymath: interviewer, prize judge, manuscript doctor, festival programmer, and award-winning creative writing educator. Beejay has stories to tell; she eloped to Las Vegas, escaped quicksand, and was once rescued from a picnic at Hanging Rock.
