Shady Cosgrove is finishing her novel FREEFALL about a group of squatters in New York City who try to live 'outside' of money. Her 2013 novel What the Ground Can't Hold (Picador Australia) chronicles the lives of nine people trapped in the Andes after an avalanche, and explores themes of hope, survival and forgiveness. In 2007, her creative non-fiction manuscript 'She Played Elvis' about a pilgrimage across America was shortlisted for the Australian Vogel Prize and subsequently published by Allen and Unwin. Her short fiction has appeared in Southerly, Antipodes, Overland, Best Australian Short Stories, and Spineless Wonders publications.
Shady has a background in journalism – she worked for John Fairfax Holdings at the Sydney Morning Herald and Illawarra Mercury, and covered the Sydney Olympic Games. She graduated from Vassar College, New York (1996) with departmental and general honours in Women Studies and English before completing her doctorate at the Australian National University in 2002. She is also a member of academic honour society Phi Betta Kappa.
