David Rogerson is an Australian author and screenwriter. He is known for the novels Big Things (2025) and Bigger Things (2025). His work combines humour, family drama, and elements of mystery, set against Australian landscapes and cultural touchstones.
David Rogerson was born and raised in Western Australia. He studied at Murdoch University in Perth, where he earned bachelor’s degrees in English, Comparative Literature, and Law. David later pursued screenwriting and creative writing courses at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. He continued his studies through Open Channel Australia and the Australian Film, Television and Radio School.
Rogerson became a finalist in Fremantle Media’s Neighbours Initiative for emerging television writers. He was also shortlisted for the Australian Writers’ Guild Monte Miller Award for co-authoring a historical Australian period-mystery series. Beyond fiction, he contributed to newspapers, magazines, and journals. He wrote on subjects from true-life Australian stories to cultural history. He also wrote a weekly online column about Australian popular culture, film, and television.
David Rogerson published Big Things in 2025. The novel follows Grover, a man with limited responsibilities, who suddenly becomes guardian to his niece and nephews. After a family tragedy, he takes the children on a road trip across Australia. The journey leads them to roadside attractions, eccentric characters, and a growing media spotlight. As they confront grief and uncertainty, Grover is forced to reconcile with his past. The story explores resilience, second chances, and unconventional family bonds.
Rogerson described the book as “full of humour, pop culture and heart.”
Later in 2025, he published Bigger Things. This sequel shifts focus to the extended Sullivan-Bishop family and their circle of friends. When they receive mysterious red parcels inviting them on a cruise, they expect leisure but instead face intrigue.
A shipboard stage production becomes the centre of a sabotage mystery after an accident sidelines its star. Suspicion grows, and Grover’s mother, Millicent, steps forward to uncover the culprit. Alongside Big Kev, a laid-back foil to her sharp instincts, she balances sleuthing with new personal discoveries.
