Roger Averill lives in Melbourne, Australia, where he works as a freelance researcher, editor and writer... In the late 1990s [Averill] wrote a doctoral thesis about sociological readings of biographies and has since published articles in a number of international journals. Stemming from this work, he has an agreement with the eminent Australian author Randolph Stow to one day write his authorised biography.
Dr Roger Averill used Library collections to research a biography of Werner Pelz. The book, later published as Exile: The lives and hopes of Werner Pelz, was shortlisted for the 2013 NSW Literary Awards.
