'Johan du Toit grew up in a remote community, eight hours' drive north of Cape Town in South Africa. After university, his first job was as a journalist with a morning paper, but he then decided to pursue a career in brand marketing and later advertising. Johan immigrated to Australia with his family in 1994. His interest in writing fiction was triggered by a course at The Writers Studio under the direction of Roland Fishman. While committed to corporate roles with natural medicine companies, Johan found an opportunity to write short fiction through the membership of a writers' group. He lives with his wife in Sydney.'
