Carol Major was born in Scotland, came to Canada as a schoolgirl and now lives in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales. She is curious about the ways migrating humans find home within new landscapes, a fascination that led to the creation of the consultancy, Advanced Narrative, which supports place-sensitive urban design.

She holds an undergraduate degree in psychology and literature, and a master and doctorate degrees in creative writing. She is also a writing mentor and participates in the writing development program at Varuna, Australia’s National Writers House. Carol’s short stories and essays are published in Canadian and Australian literary magazines and anthologies. She has completed three novels and is working on a fourth.
