Arion-Amity

Welcome,


 I'm Arion-Amity, a 23 year old freelance and creative writer/editor living in Meanjin. As you'll be able to see after browsing through my work below, I pride myself on being flexible and well-versed in a number of different genres when it comes to writing. Writing and editing is something that has always been a part of my life, and I have no plans on changing that anytime soon. I've got a passion for socially conscious opinion pieces and work that makes you think - but I'm also a strong believer in making my work accessible for anyone to read. Why write with convoluted university level language when you could make it easy for everyone to share and enjoy? That being said, there's a time and a place for formal, academic writing, and when it's called for, I'll answer. Overall, I do what I enjoy and think is important - and that's writing. Enjoy!
