About
Who is it?
A New Leaf Media are word pedlars. We spread our message on paper from Altona to Alphington, letting people know what’s what for festivals such as Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Melbourne International Film Festival… and more.
Our independent media publications The Pundit and The Pun contain reviews, interviews and articles by emerging writers.

Who are A New Leaf Media?
Lefa Singleton edited university magazine Rabelais for over two years and is the director of the National Student and Emerging Media Conference. In her ’spare’ time, Lefa is a contributor to The Big Issue, freelance writer and editor. During previous Melbourne International Comedy Festivals, she has been a reviewer for Beat, managing editor for three festival editions of Rabelais, producer of shows such as Shopper, and a booker and venue manager of Tony Starr’s Kitten Club.
Tim Norton is the man behind the pretty stuff. A graphic designer by trade and a web geek by nature, Tim has an incredibly useless degree in cinema and media studies and a slightly more relevant (but as yet unfinished) postgrad in graphic design. To make it all extra confusing, he chooses to spend his days as a communications advisor for Australian Greens Senator Rachel Siewert.
Jane Watkins likes watching other people’s language, good and bad. So when she’s not anewleafing, she subedits for weekly suburban newspapers. Jane has completed a Diploma of Professional Writing and Editing, subedited for The Big Issue and Vibewire.net, written for youth and student media, and volunteered at writing festivals.
A pool of talented sub-editors is ready and waiting for reviews to pour in. Our writers have been recruited through student media outlets, SYN FM, IsNot Magazine, Express Media, Vibewire.net, The Big Issue, Arts Hub and youth media.
