Adam Norris

Adam Norris moonlights as a fiction author, and daylights as a professional interviewer. His journalism has been syndicated nationally, while the made-up stuff has been published internationally, which is nice.

He has interviewed some 650 public figures, including authors such as Michael Chabon, Ben Elton, Bret Easton Ellis, as well as other curious personalities like Turner-winning artist Grayson Perry; Melissa Etheridge on winning her Oscar; and ‘Captain’ David Hasselhoff, who he interviewed as a guest of The Hoff on a debauched EDM cruise along the Malacca Strait.

He profiled former Islamic extremist Maajid Nawaz, interviewed Kevin Rudd about media ethics, and achieved a childhood dream by interviewing Poirot himself, Sir David Suchet.
