Born in Melbourne, Australia, Pam Swanborough lived, studied and travelled in Europe for many years before returning home in 2017; she started writing in 2019 and won the ‘Best Regional Writer’ award, and runner-up ‘Best Fiction’, at the Writers Victoria Emerging Writers Competition in that same year.
She occupied herself during covid by gaining an Associate Degree in Professional Writing and Editing at RMIT, and has short stories published in Australia and the USA.
Pam’s writing influences range from a childhood diet of Kipling and Thurber to 19th and 20th century novelists, Metaphysical and medieval poetry, Y Mabinogion and the northern sagas, assorted authors not writing in English, and gothic/speculative fiction of all eras … magic realism is her happy place. She works in literary/speculative fiction and lyric non-fiction, exploring fragility and imbalance.
Her interests include but are not restricted to the environment and issues of extinction and climate chaos, loneliness, memory, things that bite, permaculture, visual arts, costume and textiles, inner and outer space, the economics of the future, things that kiss, rewilding, social history, and indigenous knowledge.
Pam lives in rural Victoria and is currently working on her next major writing project while renovating a crumbling ruin with which she feels a natural affinity.
Pam’s survival skills include the ability to make string and beer.
Red Gifts in the Garden of Stones (Two Feathers Press, 2024) is her first novel.
