The Usual Questions Project; 380x90

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.

We are especially keen on hearing from writers and readers who would like to participate in the Series Series. We loves series, if you know what we mean.

As the answers are collected and compiled, they will be added. All the pages under construction as awaiting the answers, but they may already have autographs and photos.
