Caroline Graham

Caroline Graham has worked as a newspaper reporter and magazine writer, and now teaches journalism at Bond University—a small university on Australia’s beautiful Gold Coast. Working as a reporter in regional Queensland meant hearing the “yarns” (as the locals say) of drovers and miners, prostitutes and politicians, and she turned to fiction as a way of telling all the stories that stuck with her years later, the ones that were too strange and magical to preserve in newsprint.

Which is not to say she doesn't love true stories, too. Honestly, pull up a barstool or grab yourself a coffee. If you've got a ghost story, a family secret, an embarrassing moment or a strange coincidence, she'd love to hear it. She might even write it down.

Caroline has a research master’s degree in creative writing from the University of Wollongong and is currently writing a novel as part of her PhD on the intersections between memory, history, and empathy.
