Meet The Team: Anna Faulkner

Anna Faulkner is a skilled content creator specializing in wellness, health, and lifestyle topics. During her over 20 years as a writer and editor, she has written everything from YouTube scripts over websites, blog posts, and newsletters to brochures, magazines, and books. 

Starting as a newsroom journalist and via editing lifestyle magazines, Anna quickly went freelance as a writer and editor, focusing on content she is passionate about. 

In her downtime, Anna enjoys a range of healthy hobbies, like cooking, hiking, audiobooks, and learning about the latest trends in healthcare. 

With a degree in Journalism from Southern Cross University and further studies across health-related subjects at the University of New England and select fitness institutions, Anna has worked with prestigious clients including News Corp, the ABC, and Women's Health.  

Her long-form health and lifestyle articles have been featured in more than 30 lifestyle magazines, including Australian Women’s Weekly. She’s known for creating easy-to-read, fact-filled copy and making content more engaging. Her approach to editing is nurturing and collaborative, ensuring high-quality results delivered on time. 

“I’m lucky to learn so much about healthy living through my work. I get paid to research and write on what I care about.” 

As an old-school journalist, Anna’s approach is research-based and thorough. Having studied all aspects of journalism and spent her formative years in a busy newsroom, she’s used to adapting to different clients and topics quickly, while maintaining a strong focus on accuracy and clarity.  
 
Her newsroom background means she thrives on tight deadlines and has experience in editing her copy ruthlessly. She still often refers back to best practice learned both in the class and newsrooms, including the advice to “kill [her] darlings” when finalising copy. (Attributed to various authors, this is a reminder not to be attached to any of the parts you consider clever in your writing, but to edit with a fresh mind on each edit.)
