Michael and Yianna
Meanwell
Michael has been writing professionally in
Australia for more than 20 years. He is an
experienced journalist, editor and commercial
writer, who has written four books.
Michael has dedicated his life to helping people
help themselves through his books, workshops and
programs.
This commitment began at 17 when he wrote his
first novel (which has since been likened to
Celestine Prophecy) and the publication of
poetry and articles in newspapers.
Since then, his career has evolved from a
freelance, staff journalist and columnist for
various publications, including the Herald-Sun,
New Idea, People and Small Business
Success to a public relations and marketing
consultant.
His client list includes small businesses,
non-profit organisations and well-known companies
ranging from Kodak, Ford, Honda, Océ and
World Vision to Target, Cross Writing Instruments,
Paccar, VDO and Royal Selangor Pewter.
In more recent years, Michael has also invested
time building a center which helps people develop
their latent talents through meditation, natural
therapies and complementary techniques.
In addition, Michael has dabbled in fiction
(he's written short stories, a play and is
currently drafting his second novel, a political
thriller), produced and hosted a weekly radio show,
and written and presented a series of motivational
television programs.
He has also written a number of books for
writers, including the critically acclaimed 'The
Enterprising Writer' and 'The Wealthy Writer',
which show how to set up a professional writing
business and capitalize on the most lucrative
market available to writers today. In addition, he
has produced 'Writers on Writing', a compendium of
more than 360 poignant quotations from classic and
contemporary writers about their craft and over 150
positive affirmations written by Michael to help
inspire and motivate today's writers.
He is a member of a number of professional
bodies, most notably the Australian Institute of
Management, the Australian Marketing Institute, the
Australian Society of Authors and the Public
Relations Institute of Australia.
Michael now uses this experience and expertise
to present information which can help you enhance
your productivity, improve your profitability and
transform your world.
Michael was born in Sydney, raised in Brisbane
and lives in Melbourne. When he's not lecturing,
consulting or hammering away at his Mac, Michael
and his wife, Yianna, enjoy travelling,
entertaining and having fun in the Land of Oz.
