Stuart lives in Melbourne, Australia with his wife and son. An omnivore when it comes to consuming stories, he reads too many books, watches too many films and plays too many videogames. He wishes to make it clear he finds auctions very stressful, has never been a member of a book club, nor has he ever infiltrated a magical boarding school. He did, however, once stand on the rim of an active volcano.

He is the author of The 113th Assistant Librarian (QBD Books’ Children’s Book of the Year 2024 and shortlisted for the Victorian Premier's Literary Awards 2025). The sequel, Lost in a Book, was released in 2025, and the third book, Forbidden Pages, is due in October. He also wrote the Prometheus High series.

Stuart is represented by Melanie Ostell Literary.
