Author Q&A with Susan McCreery for Thurs. 8pm AEST - please leave your Qs here

We'll be chatting with the author of Loopholes, Susan McCreery, here on Thursday night. Loopholes is a collection of microfiction - many less than half a page in length - so it will be great chance to hone in on this short short form. Plus Loopholes has just been nominated for The Most Underrated Book Award which will be announced next week at The Wheeler Centre in Melbourne. So this will also be a good chance to chat with an emerging author about her writing journey and how she feels about the attention her book is receiving. I'm leaving a couple of questions below to kick off the evening's discussion. Feel free to leave your questions below too.

Thanks, Mark! And I look forward to meeting you in person in Melbourne next week!

I am looking forward to it! I love going to Melb esp for something literary, and it's been a while. I'm nervous of course. The other shortlisted books are pretty special. The thing about this award is that each book on the shortlist receives that little bit of extra love and attention. I'm so happy that Loopholes is getting attention, esp for the publisher and illustrator too! You've always championed this book. I'm proud of it, and the recognition is lovely. Once I'm off stage I hope a big hole opens up and I can fall in though and go scuttling off underground!
