ABOUT

Cameron Macintosh is the author of more than 120 books across a wide range of genres, published in Australia and around the world.

​

He grew up in the northern suburbs of Melbourne, constantly dreaming about faraway places and imaginary creatures, both of which found their way into his drawings and earliest stories.

​

Cameron is a graduate of RMIT’s Diploma of Professional Writing & Editing and holds a BA (Hons) from the University of Melbourne. Prior to moving into full-time writing, he worked as a freelance editor, and later as a Senior Editor at Nelson Cengage. Since then, he has written more than 100 books for students and teachers, and has been a co-author of several award-winning educational series. 

​

In 2017, he branched into trade publishing with the release of Tape Escape, the first title in the popular Max Booth Future Sleuth series – now a series of six books.

​

Cameron is a member of Writers Victoria and PEN Melbourne, and is a proud supporter of Animals Australia. When he isn’t writing, he loves travel, old guitars, ‘80s comic books and just about anything to do with Italy or Japan.

​

He lives and works on the lands of the Boon Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation and wishes to pay respects to Elders past and present.
