Skew: Truth and Obscurity in Creative Nonfiction

Yazmin Bradley is a writer of the weird and the strange from Western Sydney on unceded Dharug Land. As well as recently completing a Master of Creative Writing at Macquarie University, Yazmin has worked across Australian feature films, events and festivals, public libraries, and tertiary administration. Her work engages with mental and chronic illness, class, the absurd, and the macabre, with bylines in The Suburban Review and in Living with Illness and Disability: Poised on The Pointe of Pain, an anthology produced in collaboration with WestWords and Macquarie University.

Suzanne Claridge is a writer, historian, and artist. Her work explores themes of memory, identity, counter-archives, ancestral recovery, absence and presenc-ing. She is currently a PhD candidate at the University of New South Wales Art & Design.

Josh Sutton’s writing draws on an eclectic mixture of literary styles to think about and evoke uncertainty and inexpressibility. He lives on Gadigal country and is a postgraduate student of creative writing and literature at Western Sydney University. He also works in a bookshop, which he regularly abandons to go on long backpacking trips. He loves most things absurd and metafictional. His first published short story, ‘Canal Line’, appeared in Written Off earlier this year.
