Jo Newman is a chronically ill Yamatji writer from Boorloo (Perth). They’ve been writing since childhood, but have the attention span of a gnat, so they mostly write short memoir and flash fiction. When they’re not reading or writing, you can find Jo napping with their dog and cat, or re-watching their fave horror movies on Netflix.
