Australian Crowdsourced Magazine. For The Love Of Writing.

[aphramagazine]

For those who have asked what Aphra stands for, it's not an acronym. Aphra was named after Aphra Behn, one of the first ever female professional writers. She was forward thinking, badass and inspiring. Much like we hope to be. 🙌🏾 #aphrabehn #aphra #aphramag #aphramagazine #feminist #writer #writingforlove #feminism

Here's our new Arts & Culture Editor, Gabby Gonzalez-Forward. Gabby is a recent journalism graduate who spends half her time at the ABC and the other half selling sheets. Pocket sized at 5'2", she moved from Hobart to Melbourne three years ago to have more space to own cats and display her Harry Potter collection. She has recently found some sort of peace in colouring-in books and drawing awful pictures of fruit which slightly resembles slugs.

Yiew!! Meet our new Music Editor Rubee Dano. Rubee is a Tassie expat who spends her time doing a lot of writing and listening to a lot of music. She is currently based in Melbourne, where she is studying history, creative writing, and secondary education. She absolutely loves Alt-J, Ballpark Music, and has a bit of an unhealthy obsession with Kanye. In her spare time (of which there is not enough) she likes to write fiction, and go running, she will often start ten different books before deciding which one to read.

We've got a whole new team starting at Aphra and we're excited to introduce you to them! First up is our brand new Deputy Editor, Ankita Bellary @keetsbellary. When Ankita isn't watching documentaries on YouTube as procrastination from reading judgement cases, you'll mostly find her thinking about food, wishing she had a pet dog and trawling though wedding photography blogs. She's currently studying law and writing at the University of Queensland.
