“A fiercely astute & sensitive writer & editor, dedicated to telling the stories that matter”
Belfast-born Anna Hart began her journalism career as a rookie reporter at FHM magazine, their first female writer. She covered global events such as socioeconomic injustice in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, alongside interviewing public figures as varied as Stevie Wonder and adventure travel stories.
She moved on to become Features Editor at Grazia Magazine and then Features Editor at Stylist magazine, similarly diverse features/culture/news roles that could involve attending Milan fashion week one week and securing major interviews with a variety of figures including Amanda Knox, Toni Morrison and Emma Stone.
After going freelance she became The Daily Telegraph's weekly responsible travel columnist for two years, writing about international culture and travel ethics.
Anna is currently Travel Columnist for Gourmet Traveller Australia and a roving international reporter for The Independent.
