He’s worked with several publications and publishers to bring new work to fruition, and his own writing has featured in many places, including The Saturday Paper, The Age, The Australian, a Sleepers Almanac, Meanjin, Island, and as a founding part of the McSweeney’s Silent History geofiction project. He teaches at various universities in Melbourne, and was a judge of the 2013 Victorian Premier’s Unpublished Manuscript Award, the 2015 Victorian Premier’s Non-Fiction Prize, and the 2015 Lord Mayor’s Narrative Non-Fiction Prize.
