Steph Tisdell

With an ever-growing list of acting (Class of ’07, Total Control, Bump and the Netflix Original Love is in the Air) and writing (Fisk, Bump, Rosehaven) accolades, Steph Tisdell’s star is on the rise. Whilst she’s best known – and loved – for cracking us up, an early interest in politics saw Steph enrol to study law. This sense of social justice, matched with her formidable intelligence, enables Steph to deliver social insights that challenge cultural stereotypes in a way that is hilarious, relatable and, importantly as a proud Indigenous woman, powerful. Steph lives in Meanjin with her pet parrots, Parky and Eddie. The Skin I’m In is her first novel.
