Jack Heath was born in 1986 in Sydney, Australia, and spent time in Wollongong and Melbourne before settling in Canberra in 1996. He started writing his first novel as a 13-year-old student at Lyneham High School and submitted it to Pan Macmillan at age 17. The manuscript was picked out of a slush pile and published in 2006 as The Lab. The book became a bestseller in Australia, and it was soon published in North America by Scholastic, and optioned for film in Hollywood.

In 2009 Jack signed with Curtis Brown Australia and wrote several more books. After the success of 300 Minutes of Danger, he quit his job as a bookseller to write full time. In 2024 he became a co-owner of Novlr.

He lives with his wife and their two children on Ngunnawal and Ngambri country in Canberra.
