Timeline

2009

In 2009 the film adaptation of The Vintner's Luck directed and co-written by Niki Caro was released. The film was almost universally panned at the 34th Annual Toronto International Film Festival. Knox was disappointed at the direction the movie took as she felt Niki Caro "took out what the book was actually about", referring to the romantic relationship between Sobran and Xas which was a core aspect of the novel. Her sister, Sara Knox, who is gay, was also upset about the film version. Knox's bad experience with the film made her pull out of a potential film contract with NZ filmmaker Jonathan King for her young adult fantasy series, the Dreamhunter Duet.

She also published a collection of non-fiction, The Love School: Personal Essays, which in 2009 won a Montana Book Award for Biography.

2005

After The Vintner's Luck Knox published Black Oxen , Billie's Kiss, and Daylight. Between 2005 and 2007 her first young adult series, The Dreamhunter Duet, was published. Described as a "Mansfield-meets-Mahy fantasy" and, once again, Knox was praised for her audacious imagination and ingeniously constructed tales.

1997

She won the Victoria University of Wellington Writing Scholarship in 1997. Her novel The Vintner's Luck was published in 1998. It chronicles the life of a peasant winemaker, Sobran Jodeau, and his relationship with the fallen angel Xas, setting in 1808 Burgundy, France, and spans 55 years. The novel was inspired by what she saw in a feverish dream when she had pneumonia. The Vintner's Luck won Knox widespread critical acclaim and numerous awards and it also raised her profile within New Zealand and beyond.

1988

In 1988 Fergus Barrowman, Nigel Cox, Knox, and Damien Wilkins, with the help of Bill Manhire, Alan Preston and Andrew Mason, co-founded the literary journal Sport. Knox was one of its editors and has been a frequent contributor to the magazine.

1983

In 1983, when Knox was 24, she started a degree in English Literature at Victoria University of Wellington. A year later, she started work on After Z-Hour in Bill Manhire's Original Composition course at Victoria. The novel was inspired by a memory she had of when was eleven and fell from a walnut tree on ANZAC Day. While in the hospital she overheard a conversation between an older man and her father about Passchendaele and life on the Salient in 1917. Bill Manhire encouraged her to write her novel, and told her he would be more interested in seeing her complete it, than her degree. After Z-Hour was published in 1987 by Victoria University Press and Knox graduated from Victoria University of Wellington the same year. She was also awarded the ICI Young Writers Bursary award that year.
