    'It is Brisbane Writer's Festival 2015, and I have had a grand total of 6 hours sleep in the past 50-or-so hours. I am tired and jittery, thanks to the three cups of coffee I downed that morning (I don't usually drink coffee!) and I am walking around the state library grounds with Krysi the producer. But I am also deliriously happy. I have just spent the past three days soaking the festival in, talking to and drinking with some incredible people.' (Editorial Introduction)
