About the Aussie Spec Fic Snapshot

The Aussie Spec Fic Snapshot has taken place four times in the past 10 years. In 2005, Ben Peek spent a frantic week interviewing 43 people in the Australian spec fic scene, and since then, it’s grown every time, now taking a team of fifteen valiant interviewers slinging five questions at more than 160 writers and publishing professionals active in horror, fantasy, and science fiction genres in Australia. Lots of thought provoking questions and insightful answers (and also five from me).

In the lead up to Worldcon in London, from July 28 to August 10, 2014, Tsana Dolichva, Stephanie Gunn, Kathryn Linge, Elanor Matton-Johnson, Nick Evans, David McDonald, Helen Merrick, Jason Nahrung, Ben Payne, Alex Pierce, Tansy Rayner Roberts, Helen Stubbs, Katharine Stubbs, Tehani Wessely and Sean Wright blogged interviews for Snapshot 2014!
