Bec Gracie of The Country Journo has been a country music journalist for more than 20 years, publishing her first story when she was 15 in a national newspaper. Since then she has served as the entertainment and country reporter at The Northern Daily Leader in Tamworth and a freelance writer with Country Music Capital News and Country Update.

Bec is now a freelance journalist, publicist and artist manager running her own business in Australia’s Country Music Capital. She specialises in telling the stories of rural Australia, whether that be the artists singing the songs about regional areas, those working on the land or the residents of regional towns and cities. Editing and proofreading are also her specialities and Bec has worked with clients from fiction authors to photographers.

Bec writes regularly for Tamworth Country Music Capital News and New England Times.
