Kasey Edwards is an Australian feminist author and columnist.
Early life and education
Edwards attended Runcorn High School in Brisbane Australia where she was school captain.[1] Edwards started her career in business working for the Australian Trade Commission and on Business Club Australia, the official business programs for the Sydney 2000 Olympics. She was made redundant on the same day her first book was published.
Her brother is composer and pianist Michael Edwards.[2]
Books
Edward's books include 30-Something and Over It: What Happens when you Wake Up and Don't Want to go to Work. Ever Again.[3] [4][5][6] and 30-Something and the Clock Is Ticking: What Happens When You Can No Longer Ignore the Baby Question,[7] both published by Mainstream, an imprint of Random House (UK). Her books have been republished by Random House in Australia, and translated by publishers in Germany, Finland, the Netherlands and Portugal[8].[citation needed] She also wrote a book about positive body image which was critical of the diet industry, titled Kill The Fat Girl, but she was unable to find a commercial publisher to buy it.[citation needed] 30-Something and Over It is a memoir documenting Edwards' dissatisfaction with work and career.[citation needed] In it, she explores the idea of a 'thrisis' — a thirty-something crisis.[9] Edwards told Body & Soul that a thrisis is 'looking forward and being terrified of spending the next 30 years in a state of unfulfilled monotony'.[10]
Edwards writes a column for the Australian feminist website Daily Life,[11] published by Fairfax. A collection of Edwards' articles for Daily Life was published in 2017 under the title Guilt Trip published by Nero books, an imprint of Schwartz Publishing.
Edwards has also written two books of satire: OMG! That's Not My Child...He's Sharing[12] and OMG! That's Not My Husband... both published by Prion Books, an imprint of Carlton Publishing Group. The books satirise the picture book series 'That's Not My...' published by Usborne.[citation needed]
