Fusing the Medium and the Message
Welcome to the writing of Drew Turney, showcasing recent work I've done for publications and institutions throughout Australia. Select a link from the random sample below that interests you or suits your publication, or use the menu to browse by category or sub-category.

By showing you my abilities in researching and writing stories that are engaging and easy to understand, skills over a dozen magazines and publications across Australia call on regularly.
My parallel career in design and computers is the basis for my technology writing. I'm putting my love of movies and books to practical use in film and book reviews and am talking to the personalities in publishing and filmmaking as well as reporting on the art and business of both crafts. I'm also writing general features on everything from celebrities and business to ideas and culture.
I've written over 15 novels,
dozens of short stories, poetry, a journal now in its 18th year and countless
other pieces of random creative thought. If you're curious about any of my
imaginative, creative or fiction writing, contact me.

For such a large computer, it may have been a better idea to put the USB and Firewire ports on the side rather than the back. Most of us have more than three USB devices nowadays and you'll find yourself constantly turning it around to swap cables, but the 2.8GHz chip and 2GB of Ram really performed, chewing through heavy tasks with gusto.
