Snapshot 2020.

The Australian SF scene has now been snapshot for the sixth time. Every few years since 2005, a series of interviews is conducted with authors, artists, publishers and others involved in Australian SF.

Snapshot 2020 is currently being published, and my interview was released this morning. While the past year or so of writing and publishing has been quieter than usual for me, I have had publications. Due to other commitments, writing is currently on the backburner. But I am still making plans, still making notes, and will emerge at the end of the year ready to write more frequently.

Explore the site. Check out the interviews. Read mine. And links to my previous interviews can be found under 'Steve's Links' in the menu on the right of this screen.

Thanks to Tehani Croft for taking on this mammoth task.

I've Been Snapshot 2014.

Every few years, a series of short interviews with members of the Australian SpecFic community is conducted and published online. The purpose is to get a 'snapshot' of the state of Australian SpecFic. Ben Peek started it all, way back in 2005 when he interviewed 43 people in a week. By 2007 the number of participants had almost doubled. The Snapshot has since been undertaken in both 2010 and 2012.

Now it's time for Snapshot 2014, and I feel completely honoured to have been interviewed by Sean Wright.

You can find it here.

I was also invited to write a tribute to my friend and fellow writer, Gitte Christensen, who sadly passed away a few months ago.

A team of bloggers has daily been posting interviews with the participants of Snapshot 2014 across the following links:

• Tsana Dolichva
• Stephanie Gunn
• Kathryn Linge
• Elanor Matton-Johnson
• David McDonald
• Helen Merrick
• Ben Payne
• Alex Pierce
• Tansy Rayner Roberts
• Helen Stubbs
• Katharine Stubbs
• Tehani Wessely
• Sean Wright
• Nick Evans

I've Been Snapshotted.

Yes, as an English teacher I know that's not the correct word,  but it seems to be the term a number of other participants have used when their interview has gone live as part of Snapshot 2012.

I was privileged to have been invited to participate, and to be interviewed by Tehani Wessely of FableCroft. (The editor of the terrific anthology, Epilogue)

You can find my interview here.

But don't forget to check out all the interviews, hosted on the following sites. They truly are fantastic.

Snapshot 2012.

Every few years, a series of short interviews with members of the Australian SpecFic community is conducted and published online. The purpose is to get a 'snapshot' of the state of Australian SpecFic. Ben Peek started it all, way back in 2005 when he interviewed 43 people in a week. By 2007 the number of participants had almost doubled. The Snapshot was once again undertaken in 2010.

It's time for Snapshot 2012, and I feel completely honoured to have been interviewed.

Between 1st and 7th of June, a team of bloggers will daily be posting interviews with the participants of Snapshot 2012 across the following links:

This past year we lost two of our leading lights. Snapshot 2012 commences with tributes to Paul Haines and Sara Douglass.
