Say hello

Get in touch

“Interviewing me onstage is not a walk in the park, but Michaela was fully up to the job. Flexible, smart, light on her toes, funny - a good time was had by all, me and the audience included.”

Margaret Atwood
"A conversation is a kind of collaborative artwork made by both / all participants, and in this spirit, Michaela is a gifted co-creator."

David Mitchell
"You could not possibly find a wiser, deeper, funnier, more professional person to be interviewed by or have moderate an event."

Trent Dalton, Author
"When you combine a questing mind and rigorous research with a big warm heart, you get one of the best interviewers in Australia. That’s Michaela Kalowski, every writer’s - and audience’s - dream interviewer."

David Leser, Journalist & Author
