Relevant practitioned creative writing biography:
Kirk Marshall is a Brisbane-born(e) writer, freelance illustrator, independent filmmaker, and mobilized environmentalist relocated to Melbourne by way of Kanagawa-ken.
Born English by bloodline, Irish by genealogy, and Japanese by social synergy, he has written for Queensland's Laudes Deo magazine; QUT's underground Riff-Raff 'zine; Amazon.co.uk's reviews; JJJ Radio Station's online music reviews; The Zoetrope Virtual Studio; 2002 St. Laurences College Annual publication; The University of Melbourne's Politics and Power 2002 Essay-Writing Forum; Deakin University's DeScribe Writing Group open mic. performances; Sketch: Literary & Design Journal's open mic. performances; The Death Mook's reading salon; Going Down Swinging #28 launch performances; Brisbane band Denvar's Work.Sleep.Die EP promotion feature article; Brisbane band The Clubs' prospective Out With the Truth EP album-leaf content; Utopia; Urban Verve; Frankie; Semper Floreat; Roustabout; Edit Red; Undergrowth; Word Riot (February, 2008); Word Riot (July, 2008); The Flasher; The Slow Review; Other Terrain: an electronic journal of the textual; Cottonmouth (May, 2008); Cottonmouth (July, 2008); Cottonmouth (September, 2008); Cottonmouth (May, 2009); Verandah #23; ThreeThousand; Sketch: Literary & Design Journal (November, 2008); Sketch: Literary & Design Journal (November, 2009); Remix My Lit; Going Down Swinging #27; Going Down Swinging #28; BLOCK #7 (ANU Writers Literary Journal); Voiceworks; The Universe of Logical Unsanity quarterly; Otoliths; LiteraryMinded; Regal 8 // Shelf 8; The Diamond & the Thief; WritingQueensland Magazine; Seven Letter Words; 3:AM Magazine; dotdotdash magazine; Mascara Literary Review; ISM: online; the short-story anthologies before the young get eaten, The Death Mook (published by Vignette Press), One Trick Pony, Through the Clock's Workings (published by Sydney University Press), The Reader for the 2009 Emerging Writers' Festival, and the Cottonmouth Anthology; The Wilderness Society's 2006 SEQ Wild Rivers legislation protest spoken-word performances, and he was the first-prize recipient of the Brisbane Short-Story Competition for youth under the age of 17 in 2000.
Kirk has also been the first-prize recipient for the St. Laurences College Library Collection Literary Competition 2002 and The Children’s Book Council of Australia Awards Foundation/Roman Printing Prize 2002, & in 2005 he completed directorial production on a pennystring-budget mockumentary feature film, lauding the surrealistic theatrics of a make-believe Australian boy-band, entitled About 8, promoted by Prodany Entertainment.
As of composing this most prescient potted biography, Kirk has finalised publication and distribution release of a full-colour illustrated graphic novelette, the 2007 Aurealis-Award nominee, A Solution to Economic Depression in Little Tokyo, 1953 available for purchase at various publishing outlets throughout Brisbane and Melbourne, to be reviewed by Scene entertainment magazine. As of November (2007), he was nationally shortlisted for an employed freelance journalist position with papertiger Media's Yen and Dazed & Confused magazines, and in June (2008), he was awarded a journalist internship with Right Angle Communications. Recently Kirk hosted a biweekly-serialised, online noir-cum-Dada comic about world-first Bogan Private Investigator, Furphy Benjamin Dozer, at his up-to-date web journal (fun_with_kites.)
Kirk was awarded a Bachelor of Creative Industries (Creative Writing) with Distinction from the Queensland University of Technology, a first-class Honours degree in Professional Writing from Deakin University, and has been invited by various indentured members of both Brisbane and Melbourne tertiary faculties to submit extensive proposals for research assistant and post-graduate degree positions within their campuses.
Returning from employment as an English-language conversation school teacher within Tokyo, Japan, in late 2007, he has resurfaced in Melbourne and now edits the forthcoming annual English-language / Japanese bi-lingual literary journal, Red Leaves / 紅葉. Since his return he has sat on the editorial judging committee for The Lifted Brow's Fake Bookshelf Competition, has been awarded acceptance as both a proofreader for Express Media's Voiceworks literary magazine and as a non-fiction columnist for ISM: online, has been a panelist for the 2009 Emerging Writers' Festival and the 2009 National Young Writers' Festival, and is responsible for renaming the Scrabble Event at the Emerging Writers' Festival to "Wordstock".
His Honours thesis (a combined analytic-theoretic dissertation and accompanying fiction novella) is entitled, "Carnivalesque", and demonstrates the narratological relationship between structure and literary parallax in frame-narrative literature. Carnivalesque: And, Other Stories, Kirk's debut short story collection will be published by Black Rider Press in 2010.
His developing canon of writings have been heralded as "absolutely brilliant", and he has been earmarked by one reviewer "to be Australia's Thomas Pynchon."
