It’s the slightly inevitable name for an upcoming collaboration between the venerable journals, the first event of which is to be held at the new Wheeler Centre for Books, Writing and Ideas at the State Library.

Congratulations, Kevin, and thanks for coming on board with our first ever Subscriberthon. That’s practically instant karma!
