“Always get the name of the dog, the brand of the beer, and the title of the song that was playing as the car crashed off the road.”

This is one writing commandment that the award-winning writer for Good Weekend Konrad Marshall keeps top of mind, as told to him by Pulitzer Prize-winner Tom French. For Marshall, that attention to detail is one trademark that helps set his work apart.

As a feature writer, he sees his main job as engaging readers in a captivating story.

“I’m just trying to get your attention for thirty-five minutes on a Saturday morning by reading something that you really enjoy.”
