A
bout the Site Publisher- Kevin Parker
Kevin Parker (BA, Adv Management Cert, Conflict Resolution Cert), was born in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire. He was raised in Stevenage and Knebworth. A traveler at heart, he now bases himself in Australia with frequent UK visits to see his family in Cornwall and for business.
Kevin's professional background is as a Campaign Director, university researcher, and as an organiser, lobbyist, and then consultant (natural aging progression) concerned with environmental, peace and social justice issues. He was appointed as an Honorary Fellow at the University of Wollongong. Kevin has also enjoyed success as an award winning private sector business owner in partnership with his wife.
In more recent times, his interest in Literary Awards and Literary Festivals exploded from being a hobby to a full-blown obsession. As a result of a sudden rush of blood to the head and a malt whiskey too many, he started publishing, illustrating, designing, programming and providing content for a suite of web sites covering Literary Awards and Festivals throughout the world.
Kevin (above- photo credit Maddi' Parker) comments incessantly on Literary Awards and Festivals at his Book Award Tragic blog. He is seeking professional help regarding his obsession but nobody really wants to listen - even if he's paying.
Together with his wife Maddi', their four young children, nine chickens and several possums in the roof, he dwells in an old house set on a delightfully wildish acre - at least that's what he tells friends and neighbours who reckon he should just garden more. He also has a has a grown-up son. He recently resigned from the Zero-Population Growth Coalition - much to their relief.
Allegedly, he is an accomplished and entertaining public speaker. He accepts cartoon commissions for those with a quirky sense of humour and journalistic commissions either of a humourous or even serious nature. Please email for details. Visit Award Tragic Blog for examples of his work.
Kevin also publishes BiodiverseLife.com, a gateway to over 200 Biodiversity research data-bases.
