Calista Bruschi

If you’d asked Calista what her life’s purpose was at 16, this ‘girl from the bush’ probably would have muttered something about being the next Melinda Gainsford-Taylor and working as a primary school teacher. Neither happened and these days Calista is an editor, writer and journalist.

Calista, who has a Bachelor or Journalism from James Cook University and more than 15 years’ experience in communications-based roles, has earned her living as a sports writer, a magazine editor, a book editor, a sub-editor, a community relations officer, a social media manager, a marketing officer and a touch football referee.

She is the current community editor for Starts at 60, sharing her wealth of knowledge and experience with 400+ over-60s bloggers in Australia and around the world. It is a community she loves! She encourages any member of our community with a story of personal experience and real life to drop her a line at [email protected]

When she hasn’t got her head buried in an editorial style guide or Macquarie dictionary, you’ll find Calista (coffee in hand) attending to the needs of over-60s in the Starts at 60 inbox or talking books, craft, current affairs, gardening, grandparenting, health, money, property and travel in many of our dedicated community groups.
