Roger Zubrinich has spent time teaching English to adults and reluctant adolescents. He established a professional writing section at the Adelaide College of the Arts, and to add a bit of variation to his work history, he was an adviser to State Government Ministers. He has co-written four books, occupied judging panels for significant literary awards and has graced Arts funding committees. He had learned to drive by the time he was twelve but needed to wait until he was sixteen to get a licence. He's made the most of that opportunity. He and his wife Judy live in Adelaide overlooking the exceptional parklands that surround the city centre.
