Steven Conte

Steven Conte was born in 1966 and raised in Guyra in rural New South Wales. After six years of boarding school he lived and worked in Europe, and his first published short stories drew on his experiences as a traveller. He has lived in Sydney and Canberra and most recently in Melbourne. Bank teller, waiter, barman, cleaner, life model, public servant, taxi driver, receptionist, university tutor, editor and book reviewer are some of the jobs with which he has supported his writing. His first novel The Zookeeper's War is published by Fourth Estate in Australia and was recently published by Quercus in the UK.
