Alfred George Stephens (1865-1933) was born in Toowoomba, Queensland. In 1894 he joined The Bulletin and two years later became editor of its literary section, The Red Page. In 1906 he left The Bulletin to become a freelance writer, literary agent, publisher and editor of his own journal, The Bookfellow. He greatly influenced the development of Australian literature, encouraging writers as well as editing and criticising their work.
