Tim Winton

Biography

Tim Winton was born in Scarborough, Western Australia in 1960. He was educated at the Western Australia Institute of Technology but has been a full-time writer since his early twenties. As well as writing novels for adults, he has written two children’s novels. I write about small places; about people in small situations. If I get a grip on the geography, I can get a grip on the people… the people I responded to the most when I was discovering literature were the people who had their characters out in landscape.
