Aliya Whiteley – The interview

by Melanie Gow

I want to believe that there’s a reason, a plan, for my existence. I’d like to be the culmination of a million years of a breeding program just to make someone as amazing as me. But I’m not really amazing, and neither are you. Or maybe you are. It all depends on how you judge amazingness, I suppose. And all my novels, short stories, poems, address that issue. The calculation of amazingness.

Tamsyn Murray – The Interview

by Melanie Gow

Celery is what Satan feeds people in Hell and spiders – you mean you don’t know about them? They have enormous fangs and some of them carry guns and, basically, they’re trying to take over the world.

Matt Beaumont – The Interview

by Melanie Gow

An astronaut enjoyed my first book so much that he took my picture to space. This does sound pretty incredible and I wouldn’t believe it myself if I didn’t have some evidence. I’ve got a photograph of Piers Sellers (the spaceman) holding a photocopied jacket shot of me against the window of a space shuttle. You can see Planet Earth through the glass, 115 miles below.
