Tim Metcalf Home Page

This site contains material by and about me up to the end of 2005. My new site, including a selection from my upcoming collection 'Glyph', is located at www.timmetcalf.com.au

I was born in Melbourne, Australia in 1961. I graduated in medicine in 1984 and in literature in 1995.

 

I spent most of my 14-year career as a doctor in rural and remote Australia, before becoming a writer.
