Imagine you were about to appear at a writers' festival to talk about your first book... then the whole thing fell apart. I wanted to find debut authors who almost talked at Adelaide Writers' Week. These are 21 folks I've identified so far but *please* let me know who I've missed or mixed up.

It's a good moment to become more familiar with Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah, the author whose cancellation led to Adelaide Writers' Week imploding. This interview from December feels even more urgent given the events of the past week.

Just barrelled through the last few pages of @antonhur.com’s Toward Eternity. The archive as bulwark, the notebook as dna, poetry as life-force. Sorry I missed him on a panel in Adelaide last year!
Book cover: Toward Eternity, a novel, Anton Hur. Book text: […] weight of that difference, really? Those who have no shame have no honor. Whether a life ends happily or sadly, what does it matter but the weight of the emotions one felt, the weight of the clarity of all the meaningful moments one possessed while living on this Earth, whether they have been good or bad? Is it not the weight, in the end, that really makes us human after all?

I wonder if going back to sleep for that final stretch brings more vivid dreams as a reward for not lying awake and doomscrolling (written as i doomscroll after waking from that final stretch)

I never really thought about why a ‘conveyancer’ was called that.

'All we imagine as light' - quietly magical. Just caught some elements of that in Payal Kapadia's early short film 'Afternoon clouds', now on lecinemaclub.com (you might need a VPN)

Just when oppressive tech seems more and more the norm, along comes this interview with Signal’s Meredith Whittaker. Touches on issues I’ve been mulling like IA, CrowdStrike & Gaza. Great photos by a fav editorial photographer Dina Litovsky. And Whittaker’s originally a rhetoric and English major!

I’m not usually bothered by different styles (CMOS, MLA, whatever) but APA italicising journal vol nos and not issue nos is just perverse. It’s like they made an error the first time they did it and decided to hold firm as if they always meant to do it that way.
