Graeme Harper is a creative writer and academic, who writes under his own name and under the pseudonym Brooke Biaz. In 1993, Harper received the degree of Doctor of Creative Arts, specializing in creative writing, at the University of Technology, Sydney. This was the first doctorate in creative writing conferred in Australia.

Harper's fiction, which is often set in invented locations, on fictional islands, or in places resembling a combination of America, Australia and the United Kingdom, explores the evolution of characters faced with unusual situations or in historically challenging circumstances. He has won a range of literary and research awards, and his critical work is widely cited, particularly in relation to the development of the contemporary critical study of creative writing.
