Talina McKenzie is a writer, designer and editor who has worked on various magazines in Brisbane and London. She was an editor of QUT’s Utopia magazine back in the golden pre-VSU days of student media, and a co-founder of Brisbane’s Vulture magazine. Her first love is fiction and she has recently given up the adrenaline-junkie’s life of monthly deadlines to be a book editor, something she presumes will involve tweed jackets and pipes.
