Kat Clay (Australia)
I’m Kat Clay, and I’ve been a part of Australia’s fan community for more than a decade.
For the past two years, I’ve won Australia’s Ditmar Award for Best Fan Writer for my blog,
(www.katclay.com) and Youtube channel,
(www.youtube.com/katclay). I’ve helped
organise Melbourne’s local convention, Continuum, and you’ll always find me at the Fan Fund
Auction – it’s my convention highlight!
I’m also passionate about raising the profile of science fiction from the Asia Pacific and have
hosted panels and written reviews featuring work from the region.
I would love to be the GUFF delegate to act as a ‘Fanbassador’ from down under!
Nominators: Belle McQuattie, TR Napper, Cat Sparks (Oceania), Jukka Halme, Marcin Klak

I've attended around a hundred cons since Swancon 2, in 1977, been on the program of most of
them, on the committee for about ten, been GOH twice, once for a Natcon, had dealer's tables
and won an art competition and a Tin Duck. I know many Australian and international writers,
courtesy of being a book reviewer for a newspaper. I've pubbed my ish, pro/am, I'm gregarious,
knowledgeable and I've even got a doctorate in writing. I was an actor, so I can speak in public,
sing and play filk and I'm good on panels. Please send me to Glasgow.
Nominators: Edwina Harvey, Perry Middlemiss, Julian Warner (Oceania), David Langford, Liz Williams (Europe)
