Daniel Mason is the chief editor here at Buckshot Sundae, a task comparable to shovelling pigshit on a farm. He won the 2001 Young Author’s Award with his first novel, RUSH, which is published by Random House Australia. He has written for the Sydney Morning Herald and Pluto Press, recorded his work for ABC National and Triple J radio, and appeared as a panellist at the Byron Bay Writer’s Festival and a nationally-broadcast forum on Youth Arts held at the Sydney Opera House in 2001. He has clearly achieved nothing in the time since.
