Cadance Bell is an Australian author, showrunner, producer, director and writer. Her memoir The All of It: A Bogan Rhapsody was published by Penguin in July 2022 to critical acclaim and shortlisted for The Age Book of the Year.
Her first fiction novel is Letters to Our Robot Son, a modern science fiction epic, available now exclusively to Audible. She is currently writing future novels and a follow-up memoir.
As a showrunner and screenwriter, Cadance is currently working on numerous scripted television projects and developing a feature film, Seouls. Her prior documentary filmsinclude The Rainbow Passage for Network 10 and Screen Australia, and Who I Am, the world’s first documentary exploring the intersection of gender diversity and autism.
A popular speaker, Cady has performed at events such as Queerstories and the Antidote Festival at the Sydney Opera House. She has appeared on shows including ABC Breakfast TV, Cuppa.TV and Today Extra and dozens of radio programs.
Cady is the founder of Threeki, which seeks to promote mindful kindness and the annual Rainbow Day, which has raised almost $1 million for charitable causes. Her mission is to ‘unmake prejudice’ by encouraging audiences to know LGTBQIA+ stories. She was the first transgender person to become a champion of Women's Health Week.
Cadance lives in New South Wales with her fiancée Amanda. She likes board games and short walks to the fridge.
Her favourite food is burritos.
