Danielle Forsyth
Born and mainly bred in Adelaide, Danielle has wanted to be a journalist since the age of 10 (even producing an entire 60-page newspaper for a primary school project), when she realised it was the a profession that combined and justified her bad habits of arguing and being a general busybody with her love for writing. Danielle started off at a country paper in SA’s Riverland before doing print and online work at a couple of metropolitan newsrooms. She loves politics, a good rumour, chocolate and list-making. Leave her alone with a pen and paper for more than five minutes and you’ll find her practicing her signature or writing out the alphabet in as many fonts as she can think of.

Michael S says:
"A teacher at Geelong Grammar had criticised her for using words that were too long, which had left her confused and had made her doubt her ability to write essays. She became ''quite distressed'' when her English marks began to fall." I can sympathise.
