'Good things can spring from disappointment. Author and academic Kate Hall and I began talking about organising a queer writers’ festival after we were dropped from a Melbourne suburbs writers’ festival because, the programming director felt, there was no interest in a session about gothic queer writing. Kate was so enthused by the idea, she quickly brought in performance artist Timothy Ryan.

'I dropped out due to persistent ill health and overcommitment, and then watched in admiration as these two champions pulled together a program, seemingly out of thin air, in Melbourne and five regional centres. I caught up with them as they were building up to two major events in Geelong and Warrnambool.' (Introduction)
