Paul Ewart, a Sydney-based journalist, editor, copywriter, stylist, PR professional and media consultant.

I’ve packed a lot into my eight year career as a lifestyle journalist. From my native UK, to the heady Middle East to my current location, Sydney, Australia, my work has taken me across the globe.

Landing a choice job as a features writer for a glossy lifestyle monthly while in the final year of a politics and media degree, I quickly progressed to a section editor role 12 months later.

Not being one to rest on my laurels, after a year or two – and after recognising a gap in the market for a PR professional with genuine media experience – I went part-time to launch my own consumer PR, editorial and copywriting agency, which ran successfully for over two years, in tandem with my senior section editor role.

However, my passion for lifestyle magazines won out, and I was soon lured to the bright lights of Dubai by the largest publishing house in the Middle East, where my career in weekly celebrity and lifestyle titles began.

Less than a year later, I was headhunted by an international media organisation to launch several new consumer mags including a glossy women’s weekly and the world’s first high-end men’s style and lifestyle weekly.

After 2.5 years (and with the GFC hitting Dubai hard) it was time to leave the desert. Setting off to sate my wanderlust, laptop in tow, I travelled the globe solo for six months, travel writing all the while, before settling in Sydney at the beginning of 2010 – a city I now call home.

My experience spans the gamut – from national celebrity weeklies, online news sites, high-end glossies to luxe men’s monthlies and weeklies, daily newspapers, travel, beauty, food, health and wellbeing publications and trade titles. My work is also syndicated internationally thanks to partnerships with various news and feature agencies and I’m also regularly in demand for TV and radio commentary on everything from travel and fashion to health and pop culture.

As you can tell, I’m pretty versatile. So, if you’d like to discuss a feature, project or if you just want to meet for a chat and a coffee (or a cheeky post-work beer), I’d love to hear from you.
