What I Have Written

‘This tale of obsessive love focuses on the intimate correspondence between a writer and a woman he has met just once. As their letters grow increasingly erotic, they begin their own investigations, betrayals, and confessions—as the story builds toward a startling climax.’ Australian Bookseller and Publisher


First published in 1993, What I have Written won the Victorian Premier’s Award for Fiction in the following year. A film version was released in 1995 and Scott won an AWGIE award for the screenplay.
