Writer, Musician, Publisher & Arts Promoter — offering creative work grounded in community, story, and the spirit of DIY culture.
Teisha works across writing, music, publishing, and community arts with a voice informed by lived subculture — part typewriter, part distortion pedal, part oral-history recorder. Every service offered grows from the same roots: authenticity, connection, and the belief that stories become stronger when held in community.
Where clarity meets chaos — and the voice stays yours. Teisha blends professional publishing training with the handmade sensibilities of zine culture. Her editing process elevates structure and clarity without sanding down the edges that make a writer unique. It's publishing informed by punk values: honest, collaborative, and fiercely protective of voice.
Support from first spark to full draft. Narrative flow, voicework, conceptual grounding — shaped with intention and care.
A wide-angle edit for memoirs, biographies, scene histories, and creative nonfiction. Ensuring emotional consistency, rhythm, and cohesion.
Line edits that sharpen tone, repair clutter, and strengthen readability while keeping the writer's natural cadence intact.
Guidance for fanzines, chapbooks, and indie print projects — refining layout and language while preserving the raw DIY feel.
Memory is a communal act — and Teisha treats it with reverence. As the lead writer of the biography of Brisbane punk icon Brentyn "Rollo" Rollason, Teisha's practice is rooted in lived history. She specialises in narratives shaped by music, subculture, and community memory. Her work handles personal and collective histories with nuance, trust, and grounded cultural insight.

Cut-and-paste thinking. Photocopier magic. Community-first publishing. Zine culture is Teisha's creative backbone. She knows how to maintain the raw honesty of DIY print while helping creators refine structure, concept, and readability. Her approach respects the lineage — from 1977 punk fanzines to modern micro-press projects.
