Steve Wilkinson is an online editor for a magazine publisher on the NSW Central Coast. He’s also worked as a cartoonist, copywriter, and cop. He left the latter to pursue creative endeavours and grow his hair long. He now regularly submits articles to magazines and newspapers and hopes with the fruits of his labour he’ll soon be able to afford to get his hair cut again.
