Michael Hyde taught in working class secondary schools for 25 years, where he established successful writing cultures across a number of schools. He lectured in tertiary institutions, mainly at Victoria University, for 20 years where he taught and co-ordinated Creative Writing, Sports Writing and Children’s Literature. He was awarded the Vice-Chancellors award for Teaching Excellence. He gained his PhD for the thesis ‘The Sixties—the lived experience’ which also produced his memoir, All Along the Watchtower—one of the very few accounts of that period.
Michael has been writing since the mid 1970’s and since then he has published thirty-six books, both fiction and non-fiction. He writes for children (Girls Change the Game) but is mainly known for his Young Adult novels, especially MAX, Tyger Tyger, Hey Joe, Surfing Goliath, and Footy Dreaming.
He has four children and two grandchildren, and lives in the bush with his wife, Gabrielle. He loves writing (of course), the sea, rivers, canoeing, playing hand drums, veggie gardening, beach walking, music, cooking, and is an avid reader. He also loves sport, footy and is a Collingwood tragic.
