CWF Partners Big River Distilling Co, Paperchain Bookstore and MARION welcome guest author Angie Faye Martin.   

​

Meet Angie Faye Martin - a writer and editor of Kooma, Kamilaroi and European heritage whose words resonate with clarity, purpose, and power. After years shaping policy in state and federal government, Angie founded Versed Writings in 2019, a professional writing and editing service born from her passion for meaningful, streamlined prose.

​

Her work has appeared in Meanjin, Garland, The Saltbush Review and The Rocks Remain. A proud member of the First Nations Australia Writers Network and an accredited editor with the Institute of Professional Editors, Angie brings both cultural insight and professional precision to every project.

​

In May 2025, Angie’s debut novel Melaleuca took the literary world by storm - captivating readers and critics alike. Described by Aurelia Orr (Readings Books) as “a masterful debut that calls for justice and change within Australian politics, the judicial system and cultural mindset,” and hailed by Ruth Wykes (Sisters in Crime Australia) as “a beautifully written, absorbing crime novel that introduces us to a stunning new voice in Australian women’s crime fiction,” Melaleuca cements Angie Faye Martin as one of the most compelling new voices in contemporary Australian literature.

​

Join us at Ginsights as we delve into Melaleuca and explore the stories, experiences, and truths that inspire Angie’s extraordinary work.
