About Steph


I'm an eighteen-year-old YA author represented by Ginger Clark of Curtis Brown. My debut novel, Girl Saves Boy, was published by Text Publishing in Australia & New Zealand in September 2010. I blog at Hey! Teenager of the Year and live in Queensland, Australia with my family.

I've appeared at Melbourne Writers Festival, Brisbane Writers Festival, National Young Writers Festival, the Emerging Writers Festival, Voices on the Coast, Ballarat Writers Festival and the Somerset Celebration of Literature. I was one of triple j's inaugral 25 UNDER 25 and won Express Media's award for Outstanding Achievement By A Writer Under 25 in 2010. I've written for the Age and appeared in various other publications. I've been on the radio (triple j's Hack and Radio National's Life Matters) and on TV (The Circle and Totally Wild), and a lot of different places on the internet.
