“There’s going to be a gap between your work and what you want your work to be: that’s fine, that’s how it should be. No one starts off at the top of their game.”

“You do what you can with what you have. But I think that if I had seen myself or someone who looked like me in any of these stories, it would have made such a difference in what I believed was out there for me.”

“Skin colour and background are irrelevant when it comes to an ability to write.”

For Liminal Presents, Mike Eleven created fifty original artworks for our audience.
