George Johnston

George Johnston lives in Brisbane and draws inspiration for his writing from the natural world. You could say that he thinks outside the box but he would prefer to say “What box?” He is married and together with his wife they have many adventures bush walking, kayaking and either clambering up a mountain or down a creek. His first book, Into the Storyverse, was published in July 2020.

George is encouraged by the good people from Writers Rendezvous, a writing group based in Dayboro. His writing goals include publishing books in a variety of different genres because he can. Blending, bending and adjusting genres to suit the story is his forte. Remember, there is no box !

George believes that stories connect people and to that end he enjoys writing stories for people or equipping people with the skills to tell their own stories, especially people with difficult or marginalised backgrounds.

Writing for George is all about connecting together themes in an evocative and fresh way. His writing goes deep into the heart of a story. He plans to publish books on a variety of subjects and in a variety of different genres.

His general interests include: Bushwalking, kayaking, canyoning, photography, social justice, local history, environmental issues, and a whole lot more. He loves motor sport, especially speedway. He would say that all good sport should have wheels not balls.
