Dan Kaufman spent most of his career at The Sydney Morning Herald, where he edited almost every section at one time or another, from Travel to Health and Science.

His short stories and poems have been published in a variety of journals. He was longlisted for the Great Australian Yarn award, shortlisted for the Lord Mayor’s Creative Awards in Melbourne, and published his first novel, Drowning in the Shallows, in 2020, during the same month that the pandemic hit.

Roger Wheatley

Roger lives in Ngunnawal country, in Australia's capital, Canberra, with his wife, a dog who thinks he's a cat, and a cat who thinks she pays the mortgage. His sons have left the nest.

He left school at sixteen to work on a cattle station in Australia's wild north, followed by a range of jobs that mostly involved blisters and bad language.

Education came later in life and was followed by new experiences, including work with Australia's foreign aid program, and time spent working in Papua New Guinea.

His stories tend to be built around the places which have struck a chord along the way, often smaller, isolated settings, harbouring interesting and colourful characters who he loves to bring to life in his stories.
