Craven has been described as both a "literary hack" and "one of the most prolific, erudite and opinionated voices in Australian literary circles".[4] In 2004 he was awarded the Pascall Prize for Australian Critic of the Year.

While enrolled for a Master of Arts at the University of Melbourne, Craven met Michael Heyward with whom he founded Scripsi, a literary magazine which was published from 1981 to 1994.[3]
