I’m a writer for both screen and page, and also work freelance as a podcaster and educator.
​
My screenwriting 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 have a number of projects in development across film, television, and graphic novels.
​
As a prose writer, my work has been shortlisted for the Lord Mayor’s Creative Writing Award and appears in various books, anthologies, and magazines.
​
Alongside writing, I co-host the podcasts Scaredy Boys and Stray Thoughts, and have taught screenwriting and storytelling at institutions including RMIT, Swinburne, and Story Studios Australia.
​
I’m currently co-writing Alpen Haüs, a gorgeously spooky and mysterious trilogy of graphic novels for Hardie Grant Children’s Publishing, due for release in 2026, and am hard at work on my debut novel.

About
The Complete Short Story Workshop
Learn the art of storytelling—from first idea to finished story
The Complete Short Story Workshop is a 5-week, in-person course designed to help you write the best short story you’ve ever written.
​
This course is packed full of practical advice, hands-on exercises, and real-time feedback. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to level up your writing, you’ll be guided through the entire process of short story creation—from generating strong ideas, to building compelling characters, structuring your narrative, writing and refining your draft, and finally, preparing your story for publication.
​
And your story will be published! Every student’s work will be featured in a professionally printed anthology, launched later in the year.
​
What you'll get:
-
5 weeks of expert instruction and guided writing
-
Practical tools and techniques to take your writing to the next level
-
Supportive feedback and encouragement in a small group setting
-
A published story in a beautifully produced anthology
-
A book launch event to celebrate your work
​
This course is open to everyone—first-timers, hobbyists, and experienced writers alike. If you want to write a short story (and make it great), this is the course for you.
