Georgia Blain

Georgia Frances Elise Blain (12 December 1964 9 December 2016) was an Australian novelist, journalist and biographer.

Biography Born in Sydney in 1964 to journalist and broadcaster Anne Deveson (d. 2016) and broadcaster Ellis Blain (d. 1978), Georgia Blain completed an arts degree at the University of Adelaide before returning to Sydney where she studied law at the University of Sydney.

The draft of Closed for Winter 1996 earned her an Australian Society of Authors' mentorship with Rosie Scott. She later commented that without this relationship and guidance she may not have completed the novel.

She completed a draft of a final work before her death, a memoir entitled The Museum of Words, published by Scribe in 2017.
