Carly Milne knew she wanted to be a writer from the moment she could pick up a book. She wasted no time in getting started, dedicating her teen years to being a columnist for The Calgary Herald’s “20 Below” section, writing about street kids for Teen Magazine, going undercover for a spy agency used by parents for What! A Magazine, and writing about living on her own as a teen for Tell Magazine. Following that she launched a webzine for Molson Breweries called Can.Say, created and edited content for Yahoo! and @Home, and launched a Canadian women’s network of sites called Moxie.ca that won accolades from Yahoo!, CTV's Webmania, MediaTelevision, Marketing Magazine, The Globe and Mail, Entertainment Weekly and ABC.

From there, Milne worked at AVN as a reporter on adult industry happenings, freelanced for Playboy and Penthouse, and contributed her work to two anthologies – Virgin Territory by Cathy Alter and Best Sex Writing 2005 by Violet Blue – before editing one of her own, Naked Ambition for Avalon Publishing. She later contributed a piece to the anthology Hooking Up: You’ll Never Make Love In This Town Again, Again, published by Phoenix Books. Phoenix Books was also the publisher of her deeply personal memoirs, Sexography, detailing her both tragic and comedic path in surviving sexual abuse, assault and rape.

Milne’s work has now appeared in Glamour, Variety, Organic Beauty Magazine, Whole Life Times, Business Traveler, Fashion Magazine, Rolling Stone, Maxim, 944 and many more, in addition to sites and networks such as AOL and Lime.com. She writes about everything from health and wellness to food and drink, beauty and fashion to travel and pop culture, and everything in between. In addition to her consumer writing, she’s hard at work on two TV shows, a feature script and more books. She’s also made appearances on PBS, ABC’s Nightline, Sirius Radio, Sex TV, XM Radio, Naked New York, Playboy Radio, E! Channel, Showtime and many others. When she’s not traveling the globe, she lives in Los Angeles.
