Non-fiction Articles

I've had articles published in most of the major newspapers in Australia as well as in specialist magazines.  Some have been travel or general interest, but most have been related to writing or SF.  The following is a selection of complete articles.  If you would like to read some of my Aurealis Editorials, particularly the now famous Golden Age Editorial Stephen Higgins and I wrote in the very first issue and the Futures of the Australian Republic Editorial in Aurealis #20/21, go to the Back Issue section of the Aurealis site.
