BiographyHistory

'Craig Cliff was born in Palmerston North and spent most of his childhood on sports fields or in the city library, which started life as a department store. His collection of short stories, A Man Melting, won Best First Book in the 2011 Commonwealth Writers’ Prize. According to the judges A Man Melting was ‘of the moment and is rightly at home on a global platform. Cliff is a talent to watch and set to take the literary world by storm.’ In 2012 he was a judge of the inaugural Commonwealth Short Story Prize and had stories translated into Spanish and German. He writes a column for the Dominion Post about his double life as a writer and public servant in Wellington, where he lives with his wife and daughter.
