Some of you may know that I’m the co-director of Queermance Australia, Australia’s National Queer Literary Festival. Launched in March this year, we’ve been slowly planning our next festival in April 2105. Today, Queermance passed 100 likes on Facebook. A whole 100 likes in less than six months!

Book Expo Australia!
It feels like it’s been forever since I’ve updated my blog. It’s true, I’ve been a bad boy and neglecting this space while I went and built up Queermance, and that’s still going. But right now I’m on my way back to Sydney, where you might recognise this wonderful window on Oxford Street. I probably …

Confessions of a Drunkard: Matthew Lang’s Screen Debut

National Novel Writing Months Starts Here
National Novel Writing Month sweeps around the globe and starts very close to me here in Australia. In some places, it’s already started, but here, it’s less than 1 hour away, and I’m wondering if I’m going to be staying up for a midnight start. For anyone in the writing community who hasn’t stumbled across …

All Love is Equal
So, we’ve finally managed to pry Matthew’s phone away from him long enough for us to get some of the nifty videos he’s been promising us, and here’s the first one: Adam Bandt, Deputy Leader of the Australian Greens speaking at the Equal Love rally last month. We could talk more about it, bur frankly, …
