Beejay Silcox

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 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.
