La Petite Mort: Maryam Master Is Going To Die

LA PETITE MORT: MARYAM MASTER IS GOING TO DIE

Maryam Master is a playwright, screenwriter and author who loves creating stories for young people.

She wrote the acclaimed stage adaptations of David Walliams’ best-selling books Mr Stink, The Midnight Gang, Billionaire Boy and Ratburger – as well as Oliver Jeffers’ The Incredible Book Eating Boy, all of which premiered at the Sydney Opera House and toured across Australia.

She began her career in TV, writing for shows like Home and Away, Blinky Bill and the Jim Henson Company’s Bambaloo. In 2011 she was selected by Sesame Workshop as the writer for Elmo’s tour of Australia.

Maryam’s also a refugee who fled Iran as a child during the revolution and so much of her work reflects not just the lived trauma of growing up in conflict, but also what it was like to be an outsider in a brand new and unfamiliar country.

Maryam's first novel, Exit Through the Gift Shop, was shortlisted for the Prime Minister's Literary Awards, the CBCA Book of the Year for Younger Readers and the ABIA Book of the Year for Younger Children 2022. Her second novel, No Words, was winner of the Children's Peace Literature Award and the Readings Children's Prize 2023, and was a CBCA Notable Book for Younger Readers. Her third novel Laughter is the Best Ending will be published in August 2024.
