Before becoming a writer, Mierau spent more than a decade selling computers and working as a technical writer in the information technology field. Maurice holds an MA in English Literature from the University of Manitoba. When interviewed about his writing, Mierau stated: "I hate writing first drafts, but without them, nothing gets done. After the first draft, I love to re-write and work with structural and narrative devices." Further, Mierau tells new writers to : "Read deeply. Read a lot. Don't worry about publishing. Take notes. Re-read. Learn a foreign language."〔
