BottomLiam Pieper is an author and Australian Book Industry Award-winning ghostwriter of global bestsellers as well as more modest successes with his name on the cover. The first was a memoir, The Feel-Good Hit of the Year, shortlisted for the National Biography Award and the Ned Kelly Best True Crime award. His second was Mistakes Were Made, a book about why you should never write a memoir.
He was co-recipient of the 2014 M Literary Award, winner of the 2015 Geoff Dean Short Story Prize, the inaugural creative resident of the UNESCO City of Literature of Prague, and the 2018 National Library of Australia Creative Arts Fellow for Australian Writing.
His novels are The Toymaker, Sweetness and Light, and most recently Appreciation – which is a comedy about celebrity and objectively the most fun of the three.
