Oliver Reeson is an essayist and screenwriter. They co-created and wrote Homecoming Queens, a web series commissioned by SBS about chronic illness in your 20’s.

On our show we discuss trans narratives, the power of stories in forming identity, health battles and the complexity of traversing the world as a non-binary person.

One of Oliver’s essays can be found in the new collection Growing Up Queer in Australia, which assembles voices from across the spectrum of LGBTIQA+ identity. On our show, Oliver reads some passages from their touching essay from this collection. You can find more of Oliver’s writing in the Melbourne-based literary journals Meanjin, Kill Your Darlings and The Lifted Brow.
