my name is zara ishka and i am a sydney-based writer and editor. i am a lover of all things literature, and have a particular fascination with translated, cross-cultural and multi-medium texts. my favourite writers/ artists right now are sophie calle and lauren child, but i am no stranger to joan didion and annie ernaux. at the moment, i work at a publishing house and a bookstore, whilst also editing for local publications and writing for literary/ arthouse magazines.
