Jessica Dettmann

Jessica Dettmann is a Sydney-based writer, editor and performer. A graduate of the University of Sydney, she studied at the Bread Loaf School of English at Middlebury College, Vermont, and at Lincoln College, Oxford. She once appeared as the City of Sydney Christmas angel, sitting on top of the town hall in a gown that reached the street. After a decade working as an editor at Random House Australia and HarperCollins and having two children, she began writing. Her blog, Life with Gusto, turns a sharp and affectionate eye on modern parenthood.
