Chloe Angyal is a journalist and author from Sydney, Australia. She is based in the Iowa City area. Chloe is a senior editor at VICE News and the author of the book Turning Pointe: How a New Generation of Dancers is Saving Ballet From Itself (Bold Type Books, 2021).

Turning Pointe is a book about the future of ballet, and a reckoning with all the forces – racism, sexism, elitism, and more – that endanger that future.

Chloe's next book, Pas de Don’t, is a romance novel set in the ballet world, and will be published by Chicago Review Press in 2023.

Previously, Chloe was an Editor at Feministing until 2014, where she blogged about gender, sex, politics, pop culture and body image. Her freelance writing covers a range of topics, including sexual assault prevention, women in politics and reproductive rights. After that, she was the Deputy Opinion Editor at Huffington Post. Chloe’s academic work focuses on Hollywood romantic comedies; her doctoral thesis was about how the genre depicts gender, sex and love.
