1 Science in Story : Craft Techniques for Fiction Writers Andrea Baldwin , 2020 single work essay
— Appears in: Science Write Now , August no. 1 2020;

'Scientists seek to tell meaningful, logical, comprehensive stories that explain how the world works. Allowing for differences in cultural logic, storytellers have long sought to do the same. Scientists and storytellers may use different methods and tools in their explorations, communicate using different discursive modes, and value different outcomes, but at heart they are on the same quest: to make sense of things.'(Introduction)

— Appears in: Social Alternatives , vol. 38 no. 1 2019; (p. 30-34)

I've just switched off the engine, killing the lights, when someone's banging on the car roof. A rangy young man in ragged shorts and t-shirt appears beside me, brandishing a bush-knife and wrenching at the locked door, his mouth open in a fury of yelling. In front, a boy about sixteen holds a rock as big as his head, poised to plunge it through the windshield. The lamp on my cabin's front porch - so near yet so far - backlights a third youth squinting through the passenger window's dark glass. He has a gun...'  (Publication abstract)

We’re bound for to take her halfway round the world.'  (Introduction)

— Appears in: Meanjin , Autumn vol. 76 no. 1 2017; (p. 98-103) Meanjin Online 2017;
'The loneliness bided its time. Like a dingo lying in its den through the daylight hours, waiting. As I watched the sky turn lemon and the sun rise behind misted plane tails at Brisbane Domestic Airport, as I flicked through the in-flight magazine and failed the Sudoku between Brisbane and Adelaide (and from Adelaide to Alice Springs), as I picked up Monster Truck and took Larapinta Drive towards my first overnight stop at Glen Helen, I was barely conscious of the loneliness lurking. Only after the Englishman at reception had shown me to the bunkhouse, congratulating me on having a four-bunk dormitory all to myself, and I’d located the ladies toilets and changed into togs and was picking my way down the dry part of the riverbed with pebbles tinkling and crunching under my sandals, did I become aware of a nagging wish that someone was with me.'
