We ask the usual questions of people we interview.

Can you help build our list? We are looking for answers from authors, artists and filmmakers.

At the 1999 Australian Worldcon your editor asked every professional she could find to respond to these questions.

If you are someone who is mentioned in our pages (for example, book reviews, film reviews, features), or are a published author who would like to participate, please contact us.
