Winner of the 2008 N.S.W Writer’s Centre Open Book Award (Children’s Literature) for his first book, “Iso and The Bushfire”, J.D. Shaw’s second book, “Spit It Out!” (Short Texts and Poetry) was published in May 2010.

J.D. Shaw is now chiselling away at a novel set in the suburban enclaves of outer Melbourne.

His writing revolves around the themes of politics, contemporary culture, the innate conflict of the human syndrome – the battle between selfish need and a truly compassionate society.

JD Shaw's poem 'Len' will be published in the July edition of wet ink magazine www.wetink.com.au and his poem 'Spark’ will be published in the Poetic Christie Press www.poeticachristi.org.au Anthology 'Eveyday Splendor' later in 2010.
