Vanessa\u202fPage hails from Toowoomba but feels most at peace in the outback. A seventh\u2011generation Australian with First\u202fFleet ancestry, she fell in love with books while spending lonely holidays with her grandmother. She\u2019s the only university graduate in her family\u2014BA in Journalism (USQ), PR diploma (RMIT), and a Master\u2019s in Professional Communication (USQ)\u2014earned while raising a baby and battling doubters. A lifelong footy fan, she turned that passion into a master\u2019s thesis on sport as news. Publishing her first poem at twelve, she revived her writing in her thirties, joined Brisbane\u2019s Speedpoets scene, and now thrives within the supportive Calanthe Press community.<\/p>\n
