"Exciting and adventurous lives can make for interesting reading, but how do these young authors find the time to live their lives, as well as write about them? Ben Kozel is one of Australia’s most gifted and intrepid travel writers (Three men in a raft and Five months in a leaky boat) and seems always to be asking himself, ‘where to next?’ Rachael Oakes-Ash is a radio broadcaster, sought-after television panelist and author, who doesn’t avoid the topics such as female competition (Anything she can do I can do better). Writer and comedian, John Larkin is the author of many books for adults as well as children including his childhood memoir, The pacifist’s guide to self-flagellation. Gaby Naher’s The truth about my fathers explores her relationship with both her beloved adoptive father in Australia and her biological father in Canada."
