Louise Schwartzkoff

Writer and editor

I'm a creative and reliable editor and writer with more than a decade's experience in print, web and radio journalism.
I spent five years as editor of The Sydney Morning Herald's flagship arts and lifestyle section, Spectrum, leading a growth in audience that defied the trend of the host newspaper.
My work has appeared in publications including The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, The Guardian, The Observer, Time Out London, Time Out New York and The CEO Magazine.
I also create content for brands, including the University of Sydney, the Australian Museum, United Airlines and Austrade.
