Dr Gabrielle Ryan, Head of OperationsDr Gabrielle Ryan
Head of Operations
Wheeler Centre
Gab is a writer and the Wheeler Centre's Head of Operations. She has a PhD in creative writing, looking at the Gothic as a transgressive mode of representation in historical novels by Australian women, and is writing an historical novel of her own. She has a Master of Creative Writing, Publishing and Editing from the University of Melbourne as well as a number of English Literature qualifications. Her writing has appeared in academic journals Text and cinder (forthcoming) and in Archer magazine online. With that background, it is probably superfluous to say that she has always loved, and wanted to be involved in, books, writing and ideas. She is an avid reader, particularly of Australian fiction.
