Sarrah Le Marquand
Armed with an honours degree in government and a federal parliamentary internship, Sarrah Le Marquand left university determined to become a political reporter. Yet an early detour on a magazine devoted to the surprisingly intricate world of daytime soap operas redirected her career.
Having worked as an entertainment journalist in several magazines and on television, she joined The Daily Telegraph in 2005 as the television writer, and went on to assume various incarnations as film editor, columnist, features chief of staff and deputy features editor. In 2008 she was appointed features editor.
Sarrah is currently on maternity leave, during which time she is determined to honour a lifelong vow to never own a pair of tracksuit pants.

I'm one of the older ones, so I've certainly seen a few changes in my time. When I started school I learned to write with a nib pen, dipped in an inkwell (no, I'm not kidding). My mother became a dab hand at getting inkstains out of my clothes. Flicking ink at one another in the classroom was an essential… [read more]From: I’d rather have a piece of toast than listen to crap lyrics
