Aussie authors on Twitter

I love Twitter and spend a lot of time chatting with people there. I find out out great information. I get most of my news from Twitter these days, from following the BBC, ABC, Reuters and so on as well as links from other people. There's a world of interaction and information out there and, if you follow the right people, Twitter is like a huge curated news feed of stuff you find interesting, plus chit-chat with like-minded people.

With that in mind I thought I'd put together a list of all the Aussie authors I could find on Twitter. I'm an Aussie author, albeit a British ex-pat one, and I regularly chat with loads of other great Aussies. I started with a handful of them I could bring immediately to mind.

And Holy crap, I've created a monster! I put the call out on Twitter and Facebook about this and it went bananas, so I've had to call a stop to it. I can't keep up! If you responded on Twitter and I've missed you, I apologise – my @reply column went crazy. But please do add yourself or anyone I've missed in the comments.

So following is a list of Aussie authors that tweet – writers Down Under represent! Let's make this post a one stop shop for all your Australian author tweeting needs! (Don't forget to check the comments.)
