Work

ARTICLES
I write articles for newspapers, magazines and online publications. There’s a selection of my work on this site – plus new content, posted regularly. I write, too, about wine at adrinkinthought.com.au

PROJECTS
I create or contribute to all sorts of projects; I’ll publish some of them here, from time to time. I facilitate a lot of public ‘in-conversation’ sessions with writers and artists at festivals, forums, conferences and events.
