Beejay Silcox
Beejay Silcox is a book critic. Her work appears in high-profile publications across three continents and 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, Beejay is a joyful polymath: she's an interviewer, prize judge, editor, 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— unironically—from a picnic at Hanging Rock.
