Six of Australia’s best emerging literary voices share their work at a special Melbourne Writers Festival edition of The Next Big Thing.
MORE DETAILSCynthia Timoti
Cynthia Timoti writes fun multicultural romcoms with plenty of heart and snark, where happy endings are always guaranteed. She was born and raised in Jakarta, Indonesia, and moved to Australia when she was seventeen. She studied Commerce at the University of Melbourne, and spent too many years working in finance, even though numbers aren’t her strongest suit.
When she isn’t writing, she's probably trying to make a dent in her TBR pile, hunting for the perfect cup of bubble tea, and collecting pretty notebooks that she’ll never use. Cynthia currently resides in Melbourne with her husband and two sons.
