I’m heading to Australia in August! I’ll be a special guest and presenter at Storyology, a summit of media and creativity put on by the Walkley Foundation.
I’ll be talking about comics, journalism, entrepreneurship with Australia’s leading media makers. It’s a tremendous honor.
If you know folks in Sydney—media makers, comic book artists, generally amazing individuals—please connect me! Until then, I’ll just be over here, reading Miles Franklin and rewatching some of my favorite Australian New Wave Cinema.
