Virginia

Virginia Peters grew up on the Kapiti Coast, New Zealand. After a career in advertising she pursued an interest in creative writing through study at the University of Technology, Sydney, while raising three children.

Initially favouring the longer short story form, her work has appeared in Australian literary journals and anthologies.

In the last five years she has switched to nonfiction. During  her PhD at Goldsmiths she wrote Have You Seen Simone? (2014), a true-crime narrative and factual investigation into the murder of Simone Strobel, a German back packer who died in Lismore, Australia, in 2005.
