Poet // Performer // Educator
About
Paris Rosemont's poetry has been described as 'marked by originality of voice, integrity of feeling, sass, sensuality, depth of thought, rebellion, and tenderness'
~ Mark Tredinnick (OAM)
Through the years, Paris has dabbled in freelance copywriting, ghostwriting, editorial work as well as marketing and content management. She has had journal articles published in print magazines and online, as well as having written pitch proposals and stories for a major television network. Paris was once a regular advice columnist for the Motor Traders' Association of New South Wales Journal. Once upon a time, she was even a lawyer. ​​
As a passionate advocate for the literary arts, Paris was appointed to the Randwick Council Arts & Culture Advisory Committee for the current term (2025-2028) in recognition of her impact, expertise and contribution to Australian literature. Paris was also elected to the board of the Hunter Writers' Centre 2025, where she hopes to make positive change and impact.
Paris enjoys sharing her love of poetry through teaching and has facilitated workshops and masterclasses in schools, libraries and writers’ festivals.

Paris has appeared on various judging panels including the Western Australian Premier’s Book Awards 2025, Sydney Fringe Festival 2024, and WestWords Living Stories Writing Prize 2022-2023.
