Anthony Haywood

Anthony was born in the port city of Fremantle, Western Australia, and pulled anchor early in life to travel Europe and the US, mostly hitchhiking in those days. At that time, Aberystwyth in Wales and Ealing in London were his wintering grounds. He later studied comparative literature in Perth and Russian language at university in Melbourne. In the 1990s, fresh from a spell in post-Soviet, pre-anything Moscow, he moved to Germany. Throughout much of the 1990s he was based in Frankfurt am Main and earned a living as a writer, editor and translator before working several years as a communications specialist and online writer for a Franco-German company. Today he works as a German-based freelance writer and journalist and divides his time between Göttingen (Lower Saxony) and Berlin.
