Jack Heath is an Australian writer of children's and young adult fiction, best known for his book Money Run. He has been shortlisted for the CBCA Notable Book Award, Nottinghamshire Brilliant Book Award, the Aurealis Sci-Fi book of the Year, the National Year of Reading "Our Story" Collection, a Young Australians Best Book Award, a Kids Own Australian Literature Award and the Young Australian of the Year Award. He lives in Canberra.
Heath's young adult novels are mysteries, characterised by the frequent juxtaposition of elaborate action set pieces and moral philosophy. They usually include science fiction technologies or settings, and are almost always set in an ambiguous location.
Heath has taught creative writing at the Canberra Institute of Technology, been featured in the Shanghai World Expo and spent a year reading only books by women in an effort to raise the profile of female authors. He is deputy chair of the ACT Writers Centre.
