BiographyHistory

'Peter Long is a Brisbane writer with an interest in regional and historical fiction and any other topic that attracts his fancy. He attempts all forms but appreciates short stories for their variety, discipline, subtlety and colour, and novels for their ability to provide a platform for extended ideas.

'Peter has worked as a stockman, public servant, consultant, researcher and academic. As a Rotary Graduate Fellow, he studied in Canada and holds degrees from Queensland University and University of Toronto. His poetry has been highly commended in the 1980 and 1981 McGregor Literary Competition and a long poem published in Paper Children, an anthology from that competition. He has been long-listed and published in both The Stringybark and Sydney Hammond short story competitions and his collection of short stories long-listed in the 2020 Hawkeye Manuscript Development Prize.

'Peter Long has been a QWC committee member since 2021 with a focus on support for regional writers.'
