Nicola West

Nicola West grew up in a bucolic coastal town in New South Wales. After moving to Sydney to pursue a career in journalism, she vowed to be as far removed from both her home town – that is, until she found herself writing a novel about it. In addition to being one of eight young writers chosen to take part in Express Media's 2018 Toolkits: Fiction program, Nicola was also selected for the Australian Society of Authors' 2019 Award Mentorship Program. She was a mentee of bestselling author Monica McInerney. Her debut novel, Catch Us the Foxes, was published in 2021. For more, visit www.nicolawestbooks.com.
