She was the editor of the Australian Book Review (May 1986 to Dec 1987); decades later she claimed that the experience involved her "learning more about human nature in those two years than in either the preceding thirty-three or the following nineteen."[5]

She also writes for a number of weblogs.Goldsworthy's political views are left-wing. She once described herself as "an old fashioned feminist."[9] In 2013 Goldsworthy was awarded the Pascall Prize 'Australian Critic of the Year', Australia's major national award for criticism. Her essay, The Limit of the World, won her the 2017 Horne Prize.[10]
