Sharlene Allsopp was born and raised on Bundjalung Country into
the Olive mob. She dreams of capturing that elusive perfect
sentence—preferably liquored up in a Champagne field in France. She
studied Writing and Literature at the University of Queensland, and
loves her role as an occasional tutor with the Indigenous Tutorial
Assistance and Retention Program on campus.
She developed her debut novel as a fellow with The Wheeler Centre’s
Next Chapter program. In its early stages, this novel was
shortlisted for a 2019 Overland writing residency, and Highly
Commended for the 2020 Boundless Indigenous Writer’s
Mentorship.
She helped establish a charity for domestic violence survivors, and
currently lives in Meanjin/Brisbane with her husband, sons and
daughters, and a fluffy ball of puppy called Morty.
