Miranda Michalowski

Miranda is an award-winning writer working across page, stage and screen who lives on unceded Wangal land.

She writes queer and feminist stories, often with an absurd or darkly comedic edge.

Her coming-of-age play, Young Bodies/Somebody’s (published by Playlab), debuted at Flight Path Theatre in 2022.

Miranda’s sophomore play, Saturday Girls (also published by Playlab) was shortlisted for the Rodney Seaborn Playwright’s Award and debuted at Belvoir 25a in 2023.

She has trained as a playwright through both ATYP National Studio and Fresh Ink.

Miranda’s darkly comedic monologue, Macaroni and Dead Things, won the Silver Gull Play Award in 2024, and was further long-listed for the Theatre503 International Playwriting Award.

In the same year, she co-wrote and presented a short comedy musical, The Soggy Swamp Chronicles, for the Hayes Festival of New Work. She is the current Young Writer scholarship recipient for Year of the Novel with WritingNSW, where she is writing her debut novel, alongside completing her MFA at NIDA.

Alongside her creative practice, Miranda is an experienced youth arts facilitator and is invested in sharing the perspectives of young people.
