Coleman, Sarah Drummond, Laura Elvery, Kirsten Krauth, Julia Lawrinson, Matt Neal, Bram Presser, Mirandi Riwoe, Tim Rogers, Angela Savage, Jock Serong, Mark Smith, Neil A. White, Gina Williams and Michelle Wright. For many of us, lyrics from Paul Kelly help tell the stories of our lives. From Jock Serong on the fastest Ford in Western Australia to Lorin Clarke on the death of her revered dad-comedian John Clark-and from Gina Williams on the 'special treatment' of the people of the Noongar nation to Bram Presser on the ghosts that inhabit St Kilda, twenty-one writers enter the Paul Kelly songbook and let their minds go walking.

Jock Serong is a well-known, multiple award-winning author who divides his time between Port Fairy in Western Victoria and Flinders Island. Mark Smith is an award-winning author who lives, works and surfs on Victoria's Surf Coast. Neil A. White was born in Melbourne and educated in Australia and the United States, where he and his wife have made their home in Dallas, Texas. Neil is the author of three novels.
