ARRIGO DORISSA
"Arrigo writes from another dimension, the ghostly world that most of us don’t even know is there." - Leila Wright.
Arrigo prefers stories that incorporate elements of the supernatural, science-fiction, and the gothic, as well as brighter themes such as nature, individualism, and hope. Arrigo hopes to find more of those stories, but recognises that some have yet to be written. As a result, he decides to write them himself. In addition to writing, Arrigo works as a psychologist, concentrating in education and lifespan development. He resides in Melbourne, also known as Naarm, in the unceded land of the Wurundjeri and Boon Wurrung peoples of the Kulin nation.
