Britt Munro

Britt Munro lives in Coburg, Melbourne and spends her time writing fiction (this is a rare foray into fact), making music on her mandolin and working at a bookshop. She is a white cis woman and a feminist, and is forever learning what this means! She analyses things like an itch but believes the most in her creative work, as expression nurtures empathy across borders and it is empathy the world seems to need. Hopefully one day you will read a book she has written.
