Claire G Coleman

Claire G. Coleman is an Aboriginal Australian writer of Noongar heritage whose work spans science fiction, literary fiction, and non-fiction, often exploring themes of colonisation, survival, and the enduring strength of Indigenous cultures. Her debut novel, Terra Nullius, used science fiction to draw powerful parallels between alien invasion and the colonisation of Australia, earning widespread critical acclaim and the Norma K. Hemming Award. Her subsequent works, including The Old Lie and Enclave, continue to challenge readers to confront uncomfortable truths about power, displacement, and resistance. Coleman's books and audiobooks offer listeners thought-provoking, beautifully written fiction that uses speculative genres to illuminate real historical and ongoing injustices, establishing her as one of Australia's most important contemporary voices.
