Levin Shillam

When you hear the words Levin Shillam you might think of great sprawling deserts and tumbleweeds drifting past. But in actual fact, Levin Shillam is one of those writing people… or an aspiring one. He likes to write comedy and absurdism, in the forms of audio drama, poetry, short fiction and the occasional stage play. In 2023, he was part of Regional Arts Australia’s writing program, Regional Scribes, and was published in their book, You Together. As of today, he studies at the University of Newcastle and is working on an audio drama miniseries.
