Kirk Marshall is an award-winning Australian writer, and teacher of English Literature and Media (Film & T.V. Studies) at RMIT University.
He has written for more than seventy publications, both in Australia and overseas, and is the author of "The Signatory" (Skylight Press; 2012), "Carnivalesque, And: Other Stories" (Black Rider Press; 2011), and "A Solution to Economic Depression in Little Tokyo, 1953".
Kirk is also the coauthor of a Creative Writing textbook for ESL students enrolled at the RMIT International College in Indonesia.
He is also finishing an illustrated novella entitled, "Vampire Drive", which is perhaps synopsised as an amalgam of Dick Tracy’s freaks and Barry Hannah’s fire.
Kirk is also the writer-director of the 2005 independent Australian feature film, "About 8" (promoted by Prodany Entertainment). From 2009, he has edited "Red Leaves / 紅葉", the world's first English-language / Japanese bi-lingual literary journal. He now suffers migraines in two languages.
