Samuel Williams is the 2016 Australian Cultural John Monash Scholar, studying the representation of sexual and gender diversity in young adult literature at Queens’ College, Cambridge, from October.
When in Australia and not wearing a mortarboard, he’s a freelance writer, editor and French-to-English translator. His short stories and poems have appeared in a handful of local publications, including Voiceworks, and his playwriting has been performed at the Bakehouse Theatre.
His recent employers have included the SA Writers Centre, Scotch College Adelaide and ActNow Theatre. He is currently developing a new Australian musical with composer Josh Belperio and the help of a Carclew P&D grant.
