Andrew Kolasinski - Writing Portfolio  All contents copyright Andrew Kolasinski

I've written on a wide range of topics. As publisher/editor of Island Angler for the past 20 years I have constantly practiced my craft. I have been a news writer and a feature article contributor to a variety of publications (weekly urban, weekly community, arts and entertainment, special interest magazines, etc). I have also written publicity material, press releases, and advertising promotional materials for a wide range of clients.

Below are links to a few examples of my  writing.
