About Tiggy Johnson

Tiggy Johnson began telling tales as a youngster when she told her mum her brother had hit her. With maturity, she developed skills to make stuff up that doesn’t necessarily come true. Her science degree and past life as an insurance loss adjuster did little to prepare her for her current work as a stay-at-home mother, writer and editor of literary magazine Page Seventeen. Her short story collection ‘Svetlana or Otherwise’ was released in 2008 and her poetry collection ‘First taste’ in 2010. Tiggy recently moved from Melbourne’s Dandenong Ranges to the south of Brisbane with her husband, Bryden, and their children, Hamish, Claudia and Dylan.
