1 'The Copyright of Albert Namatjira' Colin Golvan , 2017 single work essay
— Appears in: Australian Book Review , April no. 390 2017; 'You see them driving from Kings Canyon to Alice Springs, the majestic ghost white river gums depicted so faithfully in the paintings of Albert Namatjira. You would think you were looking at a Namatjira painting. And then there is the vista of the craggy hills of the West McDonnell Ranges in their mysterious blue hue – a signature feature of Namatjira’s art.' (Introduction)
1 The God of Cheaper Prices : New Threats to Our Literary Culture from the Productivity Commission Colin Golvan , 2016 single work criticism
— Appears in: Australian Book Review , November no. 386 2016; (p. 19-20) 'The federal government has been promoting the innovation economy, but is considering recommendations for legal reform which will undermine the financial and cultural interests of creators. This conflict captures the tension around real reform in this area. Are they being serious? The recommendations are contained in the report of the Productivity Commission, an independent panel which reviews options to make our economy more productive, favouring free markets, and eschewing monopolistic practices.'

1 Writers' Agreements with Publishers and Strategies for Overcoming Unfair Contracting Practices Colin Golvan , 1994 single work criticism
— Appears in: The Happy Couple : Law and Literature 1994; (p. 233-240) Colin Golvan discusses the imbalance of negotiating positions between publishers and writers, especially inexperienced writers. He concludes: 'Until our writers cultivate an active interest and involvement in the legal processes attaching to publication, then I believe that the notion of contractual fairness in publishing agreements will remain altogether unachievable' (240).

''The Perfect Moment’ may be the world's worst play. It is certainly the worst-ever play to be mounted by the prestigious Melbourne Repertory Theatre. How could they have agreed to put it on?

'Humble Roger Normandy has the dubious honour of being creator of ‘The Perfect Moment’. Briefly, he envisages fame. Rudely, he is trampled by the giant egos who stride Melbourne Rep's boards.
