John Corrigan
Born in Hobart, Tasmania, John Corrigan completed his Bachelor of Arts in English at the University of Tasmania and remembers ruminating over off-curricula writers like novelist Hermann Hesse and their preoccupation with the inner life. Having moved to Brisbane after the Federal Liberal Party vanquished Paul Keating and decimated the Australian Public Service in the 1990s, he works as a disability support worker to facilitate the life goals of people who for whatever reason find his assistance useful. He has worked with John Rynn for the last seven years. After completing several short courses through the Writers Studio in Sydney, he is currently working on an anthology of short fiction. You Only Want Me for My Mind is his first collaboration and his first published work.

In a world reminiscent of My Left Foot and The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, we watch him laugh off the verdicts of the experts as he grows towards a life of his choosing – as an independent artist, writer and mentor for young people.
