Peter Bishop has been Creative Director of Varuna ­The Writers' House  since 1993.

He has lost count of the number of books that credit his support and encouragement.

His particular enthusiasms are exploring the possibilities and realities of regional writers all across Australia, and creating and sustaining a national community of writers. An early and continuing fascination with classical music has left him with the peculiar gift of hearing a manuscript often as a piece of music rather than a structure of words.
