I am a Melbourne-based writer, podcaster, and story educator working across page and screen.
On screen, my work has been recognised with shortlistings for the John Hinde Award for Excellence in Science-Fiction Writing and the Blue Sky Drama Initiative, and I currently work as the Script Coordinator on the ABC kids series It's Andrew!
As a prose writer, my work has appeared in a range of books, anthologies, and magazines, including my own titles Short Tales, The Hive, and The Case of Henry and the Hamster, and has been shortlisted for the Lord Mayor's Creative Writing Award. I am currently co-writing Alpen Haüs, a spooky and mysterious trilogy of graphic novels for Hardie Grant Children's Publishing (due for release in 2027), and I am hard at work on my debut novel.
I teach writing and story through workshops, talks, and online programmes, having worked with institutions including RMIT, Swinburne, and Story Studios Australia, and with writers, professionals, and community groups of all kinds. I believe story is for everyone, and that understanding it changes the way you think, communicate, and connect.
I also co-host Scaredy Boys with my two best buds, a horror podcast in which we explore horror films, storytelling craft, and the mechanics of fear with curiosity, empathy, and humour; and I host Stray Thoughts, a podcast of audio essays in which I cobble together personal reflections, observations, and stories in a messy but meaningful way.

About
Working With Story
Workshops, talks, and facilitated experiences for teams, organisations, and communities
Every day, we're all using story. It isn't just a writing thing. It's a human thing. It's for everyone. It helps us better articulate ideas, make sense of change, understand ourselves, and connect with each other. So understanding story and how it works allows you to use it with purpose.
Working with Story brings that insight into the room, whether that's a writing workshop, a leadership offsite, a professional development day, or a community event. You don't have to think of yourself as a writer. Story is already how you think and communicate, in everything from the way you frame a problem to the way you tell a friend about your weekend. These workshops are about helping people realise that, and put it to use. Plus, they're genuinely fun.
Who's it for
Working with Story is for just about anyone. That includes:
-
Corporate teams and workplace staff

Conferences and professional forums
