Guest bios:
Kay Kerr is an autistic journalist and author living on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland. She has published three books—Young Adult novels Please Don't Hug Me and Social Queue, and non-fiction Love & Autism. Her fourth book, and first adult fiction, Might Cry Later, will be out in the new year.
Beau Windon is a neurodivergent author of Wiradjuri heritage based in Naarm. Unable to settle on just one genre of writing, he wields them all with wreckless abandon. His writing has won awards and been published widely. He’s also currently doing his PhD in the Aesthetic Form of Neurodivergent Literary Memoir — which is quite the twist since he failed English in High School. If Beau could be any animal, he would be a chocolate egg – the kind with a toy hidden inside.
