The House of Broken BricksBy Fiona WilliamsFaber & Faber LtdISBN: 978-0-571-37956-9380pp. The House of Broken Bricks, the debut novel of Fiona Williams, is a literary work of note. It has an engrossing story line couched in exceptional prose, which is not surprising in a book that has won many accolades, including the 2021 Bridport Prize while still in its infancy and while Williams was still doing a masters in creative writing.
Guest Curator Mark 'Diesel' Lizotte selects his favourites

What went through your mind when we came to you and asked if you'd like to be a guest curator of SBS On Demand? I watch a lot of this stuff and a lot of SBS On Demand, so of course I was tickled pink and chuffed. I don't watch a lot of TV so much at home; I can't sit still very well. But when I'm touring and we are in the same spot for a couple of days or there's just downtime, I tend to watch a lot of SBS On Demand, I've just seen so many amazing docos.

The Power of Building Things That DON'T Scale

Jun 18, 2024 | medium.com | Fiona Williams

I love building things that scale when working with startups and the majority of the time that's the aim. There's no point building something that then doesn't scale tomorrow . . . Right? Challenging the Scability MantraIt has been the dominant view amongst RevOps professionals and startups alike that building operational solutions that scale seamlessly with your business as it grows is optimal. The rationale is clear.
"Our Startup is too early for RevOps" . . .

May 22, 2024 | medium.com | Fiona Williams

I heard this the other day from a prospect who was convinced that Revenue Operations (RevOps) was not the right move for them right now, and it made me think, we always talk about how good implementing RevOps is, how important it is for growth so on and so forth. But something we rarely discuss is timing. Is there a right and a wrong time? Can it be too early or too late? Let's start with what we do know. It's never too late to consider RevOps. You may feel like you've missed the boat but you haven't.

What Do You Get When You Cross the Contemporary Novel with Nature Writing?

Apr 10, 2024 | lithub.com | Fiona Williams

So, what do you get when you cross the contemporary novel with nature writing? Over the past few years, I’ve watched this question being approached from many angles. First, there’s nature writing masquerading as prose. You know, the new literary genre of our times, where the writer skillfully leans hard-won scientific knowledge and real-life encounters of the natural world against a heartfelt, memoir-style backdrop.
Enjoy a selection of past hits from the Sydney Film Festival with SBS On Demand

"This is one of my favourite films. It's always one of my favourites because of Director Bong Joon-ho. He's been at the festival a number of times and of course he came with Parasite in 2019. I would hope that by now everyone has seen The Host, but is not, I think they should. He makes these films that, in a single movie, do so, so much: they’re funny and they’re serious. They're political and they're scary, emotional and moving.
