About CJ Pascoe
Courtney Joy is an Australian writer living from the Hunter Valley of New South Wales with her husband, young son and two black cats. She lived in Perth, Western Australia for thirteen years before returning to the east coast of Australia.
Fiction writing is her passion. She has a particular fascination with character-driven literary fiction, contemporary and suburban drama, exploration of mental health, and the interactions between people.
Graduating Curtin University in 2014 with a Bachlor of Arts, majoring in Creative Writing, and Professional Writing and Publishing, she received the Peter Klemm Memorial Award for outstanding results across two writing majors.
In late-2014 and early-2015, she worked with Margaret River Press in Western Australia, writing book club notes, press releases and advanced information sheets, and read two upcoming publications at the time.
After being diagnosed with Crohn’s disease, OCD and anxiety in 2016, she took a career break to focus on her physical and mental health, before returning to the workforce as a HR and recruiting professional. But she continues to exercise her creativity whenever she can outside of her day job.
