Over the years I’ve been asked to record quite a few videos for schools, organisations, festivals, conferences and individuals where I’ve talked about various things such as: my writing career, the writing process in general, particular books of mine or I’ve responded to specific questions.

I recently went through these videos and decided that rather than having them all just sit on my computer gathering virtual dust, I would share some of the ‘better ones’ (very subjective description) on these blogs.

The first video below was filmed during a long Covid lockdown in Melbourne and as a result I’m looking a little hairier than normal.

In it a give some WRITING TIPS.

Follow them at your peril!

In the second video I answer FIVE QUESTIONS.

They are:

1. How long does it take me to write a story?
2. What was my favourite book as a kid?
3. If I could spend the day in a book/story which one would it be?
4. If I had $10 million what would I spend it on?
5. What advice would I give to someone who wanted to be a writer?

In following blogs I’ll post other videos where I read from and discuss particular books including some of these:
