The Garret LIVE at the Library

In partnership with the State Library of Victoria, The Garret hosted a series of live events with leading Australian writers in 2018.

Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff spoke at our third event. They are the co-authors of the acclaimed Illuminae Files, a YA sci-fi space opera trilogy. All three books in the series debuted on the New York Times, and the first two, Iluminae and Gemina, were awarded the Aurealis Award for Best Science Fiction Novel in 2016 and 2017. The third, Obsidio, is in the running for the same award 2018. Jay and Amie are also in the process of writing their second trilogy, the Aurora Cycle.

In this interview, they spoke to our host Astrid Edwards about the art and craft of co-authoring.
