#Artists
David Goodwin
David Goodwin is the author of Servo, a side-splitting and darkly mesmeric memoir of six long years of weekend graveyard shifts in service stations across Melbourne's wild west. He is, thankfully, no longer a day-sleeper with a halogen tan, but still maintains a ruinous predilection for vodka-spiked slurpees and sausage rolls with too much tomato sauce.
Joel Deane
Joel Deane is a novelist, poet, journalist and speechwriter. A freelance writer, he previously worked in newspapers, television, politics and internet startups in Australia and the US. Deane has published seven books, including Catch and Kill: The Politics of Power and Year of the Wasp. His most recent work, the novel Judas Boys, has been compared to Lord of the Flies.
Simon Cleary
Simon Cleary's work includes Everything is Water (finalist in the 2025 Qld Premiers Award for a Work of State Significance) and the novels The War Artist, Closer to Stone and The Comfort of Figs. His work has featured in artistic and musical collaborations and also includes poetry and shorter fiction.
