MATT TOWNER
Author
WHO AM I … I am an open book … My name is Matt Towner and I am incredibly lucky. I recently launched my first book in my home town and beachside alternative arts centre of Australia, Byron Bay. One of the main speakers at the Byron Writers Festival, an award winning author, explained that it took him seven years to even have a publisher call him back. I was lucky enough to have a three book deal internationally within seven weeks. I feel very lucky and happy to say that I always have been very lucky in more ways than one.
My dream since I was a child has been to travel the world as a writer. I just never sat still long enough and life kept getting in the way. I still fight these challenges today. But to have a three book deal and more to come and having published some of my fellow authors, my next dream is to convert some of my stories to film and television.
My stories are a celebration of alternative culture, following in the footsteps of Jack Kerouac, Hunter S Thompson, Terrence McKenna and others who have travelled this world before me and whom I honour and respect and my stories are adventure travel stories with a sense of humour which I hope that all enjoy.
