I’m thrilled to announce that in 2020 the Northern Beaches Council will again be publishing an anthology of 24 writers and artists, with me as editor. This time the theme is ‘portrait’!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am very excited to edit this anthology, as the 2019 anthology was so utterly amazing. All the background to that anthology is over here<\/a>: how it originated, the involvement of the Northern Beaches Council, Libraries<\/a> and Manly Art Gallery & Museum<\/a>, and its inaugural launch. The theme is so inspiring too… and certainly not restricted to the physical shape \u2018taller than wide\u2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Portraits have long been the exploratory subjects of both literary and visual works, as they can offer representative analyses giving deep insight of people, places, objects or ideas, whether fictional, impressionist or realist. Also, self-portrait!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
