Writer in residence: Al Campbell

Born in Brisbane, Al Campbell is a mother and full-time carer. Long ago she studied a bit, acted a bit, and pulled a lot of beers. Her first-ever publication was in Overland in 2020, followed by a story in Signs of Life – an anthology. The Keepers all but begged her to write it, given it is about issues – and people – that matter to her more than anything.
