Tanya Scott is an Australian writer, doctor, and educator whose diverse life experiences inform her literary work. Her debut novel, "Stillwater," a suspense thriller, is set for publication in 2025. Drawing from her medical background and encounters with human resilience, Scott explores themes of survival, absurdity, and psychological depth in her writing, though she humorously describes herself as an "accidental crime writer" due to her affinity for twisty mysteries.
Born and raised in coastal western Victoria, Scott later spent over a decade in Melbourne before returning to the Wadawurrung country of Victoria's Surf Coast. Her professional journey—from narrowly avoiding an engineering career to completing medical school—reflects the unpredictability she often channels into her narratives. When not writing, Scott enjoys reading or spending time at the beach with her family and pets.
