I am deeply grateful to have been a part of this project. It would not have been possible without the kindness and support of so many people.
I would like to thank the Lamb Island Residents Association for support and kindness, especially Janet Cannon for going the extra mile. Deep gratitude to the folks at the Lamb Island club for space to write, especially John Longland for his warmth and generosity, and Kieran Dillan for making the room so beautiful and welcoming.
This project was made possible with the support of an RADF grant and I am deeply grateful for the Redlands City Council and the Queensland Government for their support of writers.
And finally, thank you, from my heart to yours, to the writers for trusting me with your stories. My wild, brave and lovely friends, I feel honoured and humbled to have been able to share the journey with you.
Thank you
Natalie Sprite
