George Ivanoff is a Melbourne author who’s written more than 100 books for kids and teens, including Monster Island, the interactive You Choose series, the RFDS Adventures, the OTHER WORLDS series, the Gamers trilogy, and the non-fiction Survival Guides; as well as a ton of school readers and educational books.
He has three new books on the way — You Choose MEGA: Prehistoric Peril in August 2025; a non-fiction book, I Can’t Believe… People Used to Believe This, in Feb 2026; a picture book, Hippos Don’t Dance, in July 2026.
George also writes short stories and articles for grown-ups as well as kids. And he occasionally wanders in to the realm of media tie-in fiction. He has written official tie-in stories for The X-Files, Night Terrace and Doctor Who, as well as novels and short stories that are spinoffs from Doctor Who.
George’s books and stories have been shortlisted for numerous awards and he’s even managed to win a few of them — most notably, two YABBA awards for his You Choose series.
George drinks too much coffee, eats too much chocolate and watches too much Doctor Who. He has one wife, two children and an uncontrollable imagination.
