Biography

Scott Monk was born in Macksville, New South Wales, in 1974. He grew up in Sydney, Canberra and several country towns before landing his first job as a newspaper journalist in Adelaide.

A reluctant reader as a teenager, Scott began writing at the age of 13 after one of his Year 8 English teachers set a “short” story assignment. Little did she expect that he would produce a 220-page manuscript — then ask her to mark it! Aged 19, he wrote
Boyz ‘R' Us
, which was published when he was 21. It was followed by
Raw
,
The Crush
and now
The Never Boys
.

Scott presently works for a national newspaper in Sydney. On weekends, he can be found at the footy screaming for his team to rid itself of the wooden spoon, or plotting to take over the world's chocolate factories.
