Scot Gardner became a writer after a chance meeting with a magazine
editor while hitchhiking in eastern Australia. Magazine articles
led to op-ed newspaper pieces and eventually novels. Scot's first
fiction for young adults, One Dead Seagull, was published after he
attended a writing conference with John Marsden.
More than a decade later, his many books have found local and
international favour and garnered praise and awards for their
honest take on adolescent life. They include books like White Ute
Dreaming, Burning Eddy and most recently Changing Gear, shortlisted
for the CBCA Book of the Year Awards; Happy as Larry, winner of a
WA Premier's Book Award for young adult fiction; and The Dead I
Know, winner of the CBCA Book of the Year Award for Older
Readers.
Scot lives with his wife in a vegetable garden in country Victoria.
