Glenn Orgias is an energy trader, writer, and surfer based in Sydney. In 2009, while surfing at Bondi Beach, he survived an unfun encounter with a Great White shark that resulted in the loss of his left arm. His memoir MAN IN A GREY SUIT (Penguin, 2012), is described as a powerful memoir of personal restoration, recounting the aftermath of shark attack with honesty, dark humour, and a deep respect for the ocean.

Glenn's short fiction explores themes of survival, reckoning, and the strange endurance of the human spirit. He is often drawn to the weird, the wounded, and the people who laugh when they shouldn’t. His work has appeared in many literary journals including SmokeLong Quarterly, Wigleaf, Pithead Chapel. In 2024, he was nominated for both Best Small Fictions and the Pushcart Prize.

 

When he’s not working or writing, Glenn can be found out the back in the surf or spending time with his wife, two daughters and their forty-kilo Ridgeback.
