1 Writing, Method, Affect and Adaptation : On Writing a Book about the Death of My Mother. Ianto Ware , 2024 single work autobiography
— Appears in: Meanjin , March vol. 83 no. 1 2024; (p. 170-178)

'After my second book came out, I was asked to do a lecture on 'Writing as Method'. I wasn't sure what the term meant but I said yes because it was flattering to think my method was good enough to warrant talking about it. On top of that, the audience was mostly post-grads and I felt very empathetic towards them. I remember how it felt to write a thesis; sitting there day after day, deleting, rewriting, and wondering what I was doing wrong.'  (Publication abstract)

1 y separately published work icon Twenty One Nights in July : A Personal History of the Tour de France Ianto Ware , Melbourne : Hunter Publishers , 2014 26419553 2014 single work autobiography

'When chronic insomniac and reluctant office worker Ianto Ware went looking for answers to life's big questions, he found them in the world's largest bike race. Twenty-One Nights in July is a joyride through the Tour's greatest moments — part love letter to cycling, part history of the Tour de France, and part philosophical treatise on the merits of the humble bicycle, Twenty-One Nights in July unravels La Grande Boucle's greatest stages, contests, personalities, scandals and controversies — from Fausto Coppi's victory on Alpe d'Huez, to Jacques Anquetil and Raymond Poulidor's epic battle on the Puy de Dôme, from René Vietto's shameless weeping to Greg LeMond soiling himself in his battle against Bernard Hinault.

'From the Italian whose win prevented a revolution, to the British champion whose dying words were 'put me back on my bike', and the convicted doper who declared 'I'm sorry you don't believe in miracles', Twenty-One Nights in July mines deep into the Tour's hidden secrets to reveal how cycling transcended mere sport to become a philosophy for the modern age.'
