Some are engaged in social media but not noticed by gatekeepers. Some are engaged mainly in academic forae. Some publish in fanzines. Some are active at cons.

Their work gets about the same level of publication as, say Galactic Suburbia, but it doesn’t get the same degree of attention. It’s fascinating, but it means taht some really wonderful interpretation of Australian work is not talked about nearly enough.

I was wondering if this was do to those critics not being engaged in social media or if there were restrictions on wide scale publication of their works?
