Georgia
Hello!
I never decided to become a writer: I just always wrote.
I was a huge reader as a kid. We didn't have TV and the internet didn’t exist: I was addicted to being swept away in an exciting adventure: magic faraway trees, the dark is rising, one ring to rule them all. I have visceral memories of this joy and my hunger in seeking it out.
In my 20s, I pursued film-making and screenwriting while gallivanting around Sydney’s underground art scene. My most fun job was the editor of a weekly music magazine, where I also started a fake band that became a real band. I made zines, wrote for various publications, and published my first YA. I spent all my money on traveling (Europe, Central America, South East Asia) and making ambitious short films. Got up to a lot of mischief, constantly embroiled in romantic drama, always desperately in love with the wrong person.
At 29, I moved to New York and fell headfirst into the improv scene. I’ve always loved comedy and funny people, and hold the self-determined honor of being the first Aussie on a UCB house team. I refined my dream of being a filmmaker into a novelist after realizing I enjoyed creating worlds and characters on the page even more. I wrote one book that didn’t sell, then one that did. Six more books followed and counting. I’d still like to write for screen, and am always up for mischief of any kind. I’m starting to suspect that my talent is catching up to my taste; it’s a good feeling.
