Holden Sheppard is an award-winning author born in Geraldton, Western Australia. His debut 2019 novel, Invisible Boys, was an Australian bestseller and has become a modern gay classic. It won multiple accolades, including the WA Premier's Prize for an Emerging Writer and the Hungerford Award, was shortlisted for the Victorian Premier's Literary Awards, and in 2025 was adapted for screen as a ten-episode television series on Stan Australia. Holden's 2022 novel The Brink won both the YA category at the Indie Book Awards and the Ena Noel Award, while his 2025 novel King of Dirt garnered widespread critical acclaim. His new release Yeah the Boys is the much-anticipated follow-up to Invisible Boys. Holden is a gym rat, a supporter of the Collingwood Football Club, and was featured in the 'Bogans' episode of hit TV series You Can't Ask That. He now lives in Perth's far north, with his husband and his V8 ute.
'A triumph of a novel.Yeah the Boys is Holden Sheppard at the height of his powers. This is consummate, gripping storytelling, and not a book for the faint-hearted. It will grab you by the shoulders with its massive hairy grip and shake out any preconceptions you might have about being gay, masculine, bogan and Western Australian. But you won't forget these characters long after the last page, because you cannot help but love their vulnerability and gutsiness.' – Alice Pung 'Bold, brash, ballsy. Holden delivers Aussie suburban gaydom in all its messy glory. Charlie, Zeke and Hammer are flawed and imperfect, and a long way off of having it all figured out – and that's exactly why you'll love them. A wild, eye-opening ride.' – Allayne Webster, author of Selfie
