This booklet is essentially a guide to writing history using examples from the author’s own career, chiefly as a historian of sport. Historians collect facts but it is how they employ them, what they select, and what they interpret that matters.
I am a freelance writer and historian based in Adelaide, South Australia. Most of my 54 books are on sport, chiefly cricket, although a couple of titles have been on Adelaide heritage buildings and I have also written a memoir.
