He is also a gifted food, drink and portrait photographer and most importantly, is willing to go the extra mile to get the right shot for a major feature or cover.

FOOD WRITER

SHE’S the undisputed queen of food writing in Perth and seems to know everybody who matters in the hospitality scene. Gail has interviewed everybody from the Queen to Heston Blumenthal, and thanks to her background as a home economics teacher, she can ‘bash her way around a kitchen,’ she says, as well as critiquing the food in restaurants. It’s a role that’s kept her busy for the past 20 years and one we are very glad she’s decided to continue under the Galley Press moniker. She has also written for the Sunday Independent, Sunday Times and The Australian.

Always the best-dressed journo in the room, Bev brings a light touch and excellent taste to her curated pages and lifestyle interviews. In addition to writing our beauty and lifestyle pages, she is also one half of popular fashion blog, The Style Trust and author of 'Welcome to D Town'.

FEATURES WRITER / GUN FOR HIRE

Lisa is a degree-qualified journalist, published author and incurable feature-idea generator. Give her half a conversation and she’ll probably find a story in it. Give her five minutes and she’ll have a finished article.

Her writing career began at the age of 10, when she wrote and illustrated her first book excitingly titled “Where’s Ben?” about a lost dog, and promptly read it aloud to her classmates, largely against their will.

A lifelong lover of words, Lisa adores books so much she built a house with the design developed around her very own library. And yes, there is a ladder on wheels.
