ESCAPE ARTISTS: MAKE OR BREAK- A NEW ANTHOLOGY

WILL THEY MAKE IT?

By Ruth Skilbeck

A new arts initiative. Thirty-four escape artists. An anthology adventure. Editor Ruth Skilbeck, PhD, is an author, novelist and art writer. She has published two Australian Fugue novels.

Escape Artists is a new platform and publication that fills a gap in arts publishing, it brings together artists, intellectuals, literary writers, poets, storytellers, sound artists, photographers, who are united by their shared concern for democracy, social justice, for environmental protections, for freedom of speech and expression, for humanity and for new forms of communication.

The contributors come from around the world, and the project founder and publisher, and editor, Ruth Skilbeck is based in Australia. The idea to start an independent small publishing house, PostMistress Press, came to her after working for years in arts journalism, when the periodicals and magazines she wrote for began to fold.
