After nearly 15 years in the making, I just sent my 98-year-old Nanna’s memoir off to print: back-to-back with a republished version of Pop’s. What a joy, what a privilege, what a responsibility - and what a couple of babes they were back in the day (and everyday).

SO CLOSE to sending Nanna’s memoir to print. Should we start a poll for how many typos I’ll miss?

This memoir! 'Unknown'. An important, well written, inspiring, challenging, change-inducing gift to Australia and the world from Akuch Kuol Anyieth. From war-torn South Sudan, to Kenya’s Kakuma Refugee Camp, to Australia this 📕 will break your heart but also make it beat. It throws out a challenge to all Australians (and people of other nations) to think about how we can better support and welcome people who have experienced inter-generational trauma. It also throws out another challenge: how to finish it in one sitting because you won’t want to put it down. Real people, real places and experiences, a really worthwhile read. Published by Text Publishing.

Tip: Don't be afraid to "bleed" for your readers. In fact, the only way to give your readers your ALL is to let your walls down and say the things you fear most, deep down.

Yes, in my opinion, you've got to go there. Why would you cheat your readers out of the truth? Unless it's gonna get you arrested, don't hold back.

That moment when you wake up from a deep sleep at 3:08 in the morning in your cold, pitch black basement apartment and you're suddenly reminded that someone you deeply love has just left your life forever...💔

Piercing, vicious panic and despair hit you like a freight train to the heart....
