FICTION

My short stories have been published in lots of journals and publications including Griffith Review, The Saturday Paper, Overland, Going Down Swinging, Litro, Verandah Journal, The Saltbush Review, Schuylkill Valley Journal and Antithesis Journal.

I’ve also been anthologised in collections published by Hardie Grant, MidnightSun Press, Recent Work Press and others.

My short stories have won awards including the AAWP/UWRF Emerging Writers’ Prize and the Microflix Best Writing Award, and been shortlisted for others including the Griffith Review Emerging Voices Competition, Newcastle Short Story Award and the Nillumbik Prize for Contemporary Writing.

My short story collection in progress was shortlisted for the 2025 Richell Prize. The judges said:

“This is an impressive collection of short stories full of imagination, humour and humanity, which all the judges connected with. The work shows the reader a dazzling range of ideas and prose of great promise, and all the judges commented on the writer’s lightness of touch and their clever, observational details that demonstrate confident literary talent.”

NON-FICTION

Before that I’d written non-fiction for The Guardian, The Saturday Paper, Crikey, Surfing World, SLAM Skateboarding Magazine, Kill Your Darlings, Overland, White Horses, Junkee, VICE Sports, Great Ocean Quarterly, Broadsheet, Swellnet, Riptide, Movement Magazine and other places.
