Writing

Paula Read is a writer, researcher, translator and screenwriter.

My fiction and non-fiction has been published in numerous literary and online journals, and I’ve been the recipient of several national arts grants.

My pieces on feminist and environmental issues offer unique and unusual perspectives on a variety of topics.

Strangest thing I’ve ever written: A complete German-English dictionary for film and television. It went into six editions, and I’ll never do it again.
