Editors have handed me their readers for 32 years.
I’ve interviewed Stephen R. Covey and Ken Blanchard, picked apart the weekly supermarket bill for Money Magazine Australia, reviewed comedy, cabaret and magic for Australian Arts Review, and asked fellow copywriters the question every writer meets sooner or later: why write at all?
This page gathers those articles. Each first ran in another publication, and each sits here under its subject.
Editors will find clips. Business owners will find something more useful: proof I can take a complex idea and hold a reader to the final line.
