Toni Jordan

Toni Jordan
Toni Jordan was born in Brisbane in 1966 and graduated from the University of Queensland with a Bachelor of Science. She has worked as a sales assistant, molecular biologist, quality control chemist and marketing manager.

Following an early mid-life crisis, Toni left her job in the vitamin industry and enrolled in RMIT’s Professional Writing and Editing course with the idea of starting her own writing business. She needed one more subject, so she picked Novel—and in 2006 won a Varuna Awards master class to develop her debut novel, Addition. Toni lives in Melbourne where she works as a freelance copywriter.
Toni Jordan will be appearing:

The Whole Shebang, our intensive day-long workshop for emerging writers, gets you plugged straight into the publishing industry grid.
Tales of ordinary madness.
Writers with Melbourne tattooed across their hearts.
