Sarah Ayoub is a freelance writer and University of Sydney research student who is writing her PhD thesis on the Australian media and their glamorisation of gang culture amongst Sydney’s Middle-Eastern Community.
A self-confessed nerd and goody-two-shoes, Sarah decided that she’d like to pursue a career in journalism at the age of ten after realising that, like Lois Lane and Vicky Vale, it was always the reporter that got the superhero.
Sarah has contributed to a number of magazines and websites including Yen, Cleo, Shop Til You Drop, Girlfriend, Cosmopolitan, Missy Confidential and more, and has appeared on television, radio and forum panels in a speaking capacity.
She is the co-publisher behind http://www.trespassmag.com, and blogs about the triumphs and tribulations of her freelance writing career, while dishing out tips to aspiring writers, at http://www.wordsmithlane.com
