Monika Schott

I love my boys, cheeky chooks and loyal dogs.

I like to write about life with a message that matters. I have had two short stories published to date:
•	'My favourite teacher taught me to grieve' in the What my favourite teacher taught me anthology (2005), Sea Change Publishing, Sydney.
•	'Disconnected' in the Beyond Words Anthology (2010), Williamstown Literary Festival, Melbourne.

I was short-listed in the Ada Cambridge Prize and won the inaugural Wyndham Rotary Arts Small Business Award. I work part time in stakeholder relations where I write for the corporate and business sector and sometimes combine my writing and fine arts skills with my stakeholder work to bring communities together. 

I have a Masters of Communication and completed a thesis on boys and reading and what it is they like to read. I cross-post blogs on https://monischott.wordpress.com. 

Away from work and family, I swim and practice hot yoga.
