Meet Yazz
I’m Yazz Wheatley, an Australian author writing memoir and contemporary fiction about identity, courage and the complicated ways we become ourselves. I came to writing after a lifetime of collecting stories, some lived, some imagined and quite a few that refused to leave me alone.
From My Writing Desk
Thoughts on writing books, creativity, and the stories that shape us. Pull up a chair and stay a while.
One Pin. One Page. Every Day
Every book begins with a single page.
Every reader begins with a single discovery.
In July 2026, I made a simple promise:
Write one page and publish one Pinterest pin every day. It’s my commitment to building an author career through consistency, creativity, and a love of storytelling.
Follow along as I share the highs, the challenges, and everything in between.

A note from me…
Writing has given me a place to make sense of life, and every book begins with a single reader turning the first page.

Thank you for being here.
I hope my stories find a place on your bookshelf, and your heart.
