NIGEL KRAUTH
 

My publications include four adult novels: Matilda, My Darling (co-winner of the Australian/Vogel Literary Award), The Bathing-Machine Called the Twentieth Century, JF Was Here (winner of the New South Wales State Literary Award), and Freedom Highway. My books are published in Australia and the US.

With Caron Krauth I co-authored three novels for teenagers: Sin Can Can, Rack Off, Rachmaninoff and I Thought You Kissed With Your Lips. These are published in Australia, the UK and Germany.

I have written stories, plays, reviews and essays. I have edited collections and judged national and state literary awards. I am currently a regular fiction reviewer for The Weekend Australian Review.

I am co-editor (with Jen Webb) of the on-line international creative writing and teaching journal TEXT: Journal of Writing and Writing Courses. I was a founding editor of inprint: the short story magazine and founding literary editor of the Griffith Review.

My most recent research book, published in 2006, is an academic collection about writing and teaching writing processes: Creative Writing: Theory beyond practice (edited with Tess Brady) available at Snodger's Bookstore. And this year with Tess Brady I edited The Clunes Little Book of the Book, a collection where five Australian authors reflect on their relationship with the book (available at the Clunes Booktown website).

Latest creative publication: Krauth, N (2010) 'Mys[h]elf'. In N Krauth and T Brady, eds The Clunes Little Book of the Book. Creative Clunes, Clunes, Vic.: 25-36. (Creative memoir)

Latest research publication: Krauth, N (2010) 'The story in my foot: writing and the body'. TEXT: Journal of Writing and Writing Courses. 14, 1 (April 2010) http://www.textjournal.com.au/april10/krauth.htm (Refereed article)

I studied at the University of Newcastle, NSW (BA Hons), the Australian National University (Research MA) and the University of Queensland (PhD). I taught at the University of Papua New Guinea, Mitchell CAE (now Charles Sturt University), Southern Cross University, and the Gold Coast CAE (now Griffith University). I teach Creative Writing at Griffith University, Gold Coast and have a special interest in writing at postgraduate levels.

I live and work in the City of the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. Not far away in Brisbane, Queensland's capital, my work is recognised in a CBD bronze pavement plaque, part of Brisbane's Literary Walk, cnr Albert and Elizabeth Streets.

This is a bibliographic site. Here I list what I have written over 40 years. I continue to write.
