The kindly and learned folks at Kill Your Darlings, a new literary journal, asked me late last year to come aboard as online editor. I said yes and may have cried a little bit. We’ve been working incredibly hard on the new website, which looks amazing, and publicising Issue One, which is available from the website and stockists around Australia. Rebecca, Hannah and Jo have been extremely fun and inspiring to work with, and we’ll be doing some special things with the blog, Killings, including podcasts, interviews and reviews. We’ve got Twitter and Facebook accounts as well. Those of you who come here as a result of Googling ‘Michael Williams’ may be interested to know that he’s launching our first issue in Melbourne on March 11. (Stalking is an offence, you know.)
The appointment has coincided with a number of other new projects, including literary festival appearances, reviews for other media outlets and some writing of my own. This means I may be posting here a little less, though I will still manfully be attempting to chronicle my reading here – my memory remains as poor as ever. If you’re a regular ‘click-on, click-off’ visitor of the website, feel free to subscribe by email or RSS! Otherwise, you may miss exclusive pictures of me stuffing my face with small-sized foodstuffs. But, of course, this isn’t a goodbye, not even an attempt to attenuate one. This blog is a goddamn pastel wonderland; why would I want to leave?
