Annabelle Hickson talks about the idea of feeling ideas running through her blood like some ind of addict.

But when it comes to her print magazine and modern media business Galah  Press - she IS an addict, a women possessed, to flip the narrative on life in rural Australia.

As an original outsider to rural Australia (she grew up in Sydney’s north shore) the mirror that she holds up to people and projects in the bush - is flattering -  and it reverberates light deep into the corners of our communities - into the lives of people that sometimes even we ignore - musicians, artists, creatives, artisans - painting a full, diverse and awesome picture of where we live; 

Don't be deterred if you think you have heard Annabelle's story before, today we discuss the behind the scenes business mentality of her venture.

How does Annabelle single-handedly manage and grow this business with no large scale advertisers, a 160,000 dollar printing bill three times a year and contract staff that need to be paid. 

Galah Press consists of a thrice annually print magazine, two newsletters, multiple events, a new hard cover book - and more things to come, like a podcast and a writers course.
