Tilly Dunnage is working for a pittance in a second-rate Collins Street salon.

Rosalie Ham lives in Melbourne and, when she is not writing, teaches literature and addresses students and study groups on her books and writing in general. She holds a BA in Education and a Master of Arts in Creative Writing.

The Dressmaker is a long-standing popular presence on the VCE Literature List and the English Studies reading list, but when asked, Rosalie cites her third novel, There Should be More Dancing, as her favourite. Other novels include Summer at Mount Hope and The Year of the Farmer.

Bruno Lettieri founded the interview series Rotunda in the West while at Victoria University and has interviewed many acclaimed writers and thinkers, including Helen Garner, Arnold Zable, Michael Leunig and more.
