Hi, i'm Jared Richards

I’m a cultural critic, journalist, copywriter and author living on Gadical land, also known as Sydney. Currently, I am an Entertainment Reporter at the ABC.

I write predominantly about film, TV, queer culture and music. I’ve been published in The Guardian, The Sydney Morning Herald/The Age, The Big Issue, The Monthly, NME, Noisey, Junkee, Broadsheet, Swampland, Pedestrian.TV, Sissy Screens, Red Bull Music, Australian Geographic, Gourmet Traveller, SBS and more.

I’m also the author of The Little Book of Pride Heroes, out May ‘24 with Smith Street Books (Au) and Rizzoli (US).

As a copywriter, I’ve worked for Vivid Sydney, ACON, Netflix ANZ, 9Now Avid Collective and more.

I also run Queeries, a (semi-regular) queer reading night in Sydney.
