Tori Baxter is a Melbourne-based writer whose debut memoir, My Sweet Monster, was brought to life after five years of catastrophic events. These experiences led Baxter down an unknown path of chronic health conditions, mental health crisis, pregnancy abandonment, sex work, poverty, and the pain that comes with loving a substance abuser.

Tori’s writing brings a truth to the page that most people would spend their lives burying; her hope is to help others who experience domestic violence feel less alone.
