Andrew Gillanders

I consider myself an essayist who wraps his work in fiction because living with Bipolar-II, having grown up in rural Queensland, and after being fired for industrial action my work is often political and concerned with justice.

I get the most excited about drama and transdisciplinary work and I want to use my writing and leadership skills to advance social discussions in Australia.

I work across a range of different sorts of projects and try to contribute to my community in whatever way I can. The only reason I wouldn’t join a project, is if it didn’t have anything to say.
