About

Penny Modra is the editorial director at The Good Copy, a Melbourne-based writing school and consultancy.

Penny writes occasional features for the Guardian, Vice Australia, Frankie and Smith Journal.

Before co-founding The Good Copy, Penny spent seven years as editorial director of The Thousands city guides nationally and as a visual arts reviewer for the Age and the Sunday Age. For fun, she has copyedited everything from Head Full of Snakes magazine to PhDs that are due 'quite soon'.
