About

Hi, I'm Vince Ruston (27, they/them), an emerging writer and editor living and working on Wurundjeri land (Melbourne, Australia) with my feline daughter, Persephone. I'm currently undertaking a Masters degree in Writing, Editing and Publishing through RMIT University.

​

I've been publishing my creative work in both print and digital forms for just under ten years. My first publication appeared in Voiceworks when I was eighteen, and shortly after that I joined the magazine's editorial committee. I served on the editorial committee for five years, from 2014–2019, and was shortlisted for the role of editor-in-chief in 2016. 

​

I graduated from RMIT with a first class Honours degree in Media and Communications in 2018, and made the Vice-Chancellor's Award List for my dissertation on the role of narrative in trauma recovery. In 2020 I was offered a Wheeler Centre Hot Desk Fellowship for fiction development.

​

In my spare time I manage the blog Skin Witch, where I aim to make the complex aspects of skincare fun, informative and accessible, with a witchy twist.
