About Me

Glenn H. Mitchell was born in Melbourne, Australia and raised on the Gold Coast where it soon became apparent that he would become a writer. Unfortunately for Glenn, he was easily distracted as a teenager and after creating three experimental videos that toured Australian art galleries, he stumbled into a successful television career, producing shows and segments for networks such as the ABC (Recovery, Casey & Stash), Optusvision (MTV’s Most Wanted) and Foxtel (Cavalcade of Stars). He joined the writing team for successful comedy, Fat Pizza (SBS) in 2000, which became one of the network’s most successful locally produced programs. It was around this time that Glenn quite obviously lost his mind, joining a band and touring the country’s many venues and music festivals. The temporary insanity led to a second career as a music journalist (Tribe, JBT, Ministry Magazine, Brag and Whammo). All the while, Glenn had been obsessively writing fiction without any attempt to have it published. That changed at the beginning of 2007 when he sent 'Chance Meeting' to Shine. Glenn is currently working on essays, short stories and a novel while clearing a backlog of over 200 works of fiction.
