Hi there, I’m Shannon!
I'm an award-winning journalist with almost two decades’ experience across print, digital and publishing. I'm also a best-selling, critically acclaimed author whose work has been adapted for the stage. I ghostwrite books for notable Australians too.
Book reviews
"You Made Me This Way is a moving, taboo-breaking exploration of childhood sexual abuse. Shannon Molloy's sensitivity is a gift to a country where young men are encouraged to keep their shame a secret."
- Lech Blaine
"Fourteen is a stunning memoir about heartbreak and acceptance … a unique, hilarious and bittersweet insight into the heart of a boy, the courage of survival, and the fierce love of a mother."
- Frances Whiting
"Shannon's bitter struggle is painfully recognisable and happening in playgrounds around the world. But in Fourteen, he not only triumphs, he relives his past using his best weapon: beautiful words."
- Australian Women's Weekly
"Part memoir, part exploratory research project, Molloy's second book You Made Me This Way is an urgent and genre-defying feat of storytelling."
- Books + Publishing
“The very reason I write is so that I might not sleepwalk through my entire life.”
