Neil Richardson

I've been writing professionally for over five years now and I've pretty much written everything from midwives knowing a full moon meant a busy night to an ex-NRL player who retired only to return with one final shot at a Grand Final medal.

I spent seven years getting a Journalism Degree while working full-time.

Started with one kid, ended with three by the time I graduated. Now gone freelance after escaping from working for The Man.

I currently write for thecraftypint.com and theemporiumbarber.com.au and currently contribute to websites in Australia and the UK.

I've also been published in Fairfax Media across Australia.

As Miles Davis said, “I’m always thinking about creating. My future starts when I wake up in the morning and see the light.”

I don't do mediocre and I've oodles of life experience.

I am also a tin-pot musician that plays the Cajon for The Perils of Wisdom, and can often be seen falling off my mountain bike.
