Meet Me at the Intersection is an anthology edited by two Australian powerhouse YA authors: Rebecca Lim and Ambelin Kwaymullina.

It’s a book of short fiction, memoir and poetry by authors of various ethnicities, cultures, genders, sexualities and abilities. Meet Me at the Intersection features the work of some excellent established writers, as well as up-and-coming names from all across Australia.

The anthology has emerged from Lim and Kwaymullina’s ongoing Voices from the Intersection initiative, which promotes YA and children’s authors of diverse backgrounds. The initiative aims to offer young readers a much broader, richer range of Australian perspectives beyond what passes for mainstream. These are stories by and about Aboriginal Australians, queer Australians, people living with disabilities and more.

At the Wheeler Centre in September, Lim and Kwaymullina along with contributors Jessica Walton and Ellen van Neerven, will discuss the meaning, and the value, of the Own Voices movement in YA writing today.

Readings will be our bookseller at this event.

This event will be Auslan interpreted.
