I’m going to introduce our guest speakers today. Sitting beside me is Julie Hill. Julie is a journalist for TV, radio and print; as well as a script writer. She’s been an arts reporter for the TV arts show Frontseat, and a producer for Radio New Zealand. Overseas she’s worked in London for the BBC World Service and for the Hanoi-based news website Vietnam.net. Julie’s scriptwriting credits include MyStory, and Zip the Mac’s Pad. She’s published short stories in Turbine and JAAM, and was nominated for Best New Playwright for Stories Told To Me By Girls at the 2006 Chapman Tripp awards. She’s currently working on a new sitcom in development for Prime called Welcome to Paradise, and she’s also hosting The Mix on National Radio. Welcome Julie.
