Mark Juddery

Mark Juddery is an Australian freelance journalist, author, humorist and columnist for The Canberra Times. His work has also appeared in such newspapers as The Australian and the Sydney Morning Herald, as well as a range of magazines including The Bulletin, Empire, Inside Sport, Mad Magazine and Griffith Review. He has also written comedy sketches for radio and television, as well as several short comedy plays, which he has directed and performed worldwide.[1]

A movie critic and writer for several years, as well as a publicist for the National Film and Sound Archive, Juddery wrote an e-book guide to movie reviewing for Fabjob Books in 2003. Along with movies, popular culture and humor, much of his writing has revealed an interest in Eastern spirituality. At the age of 19, he studied under meditation teacher Sri Chinmoy, and he still meditates. Though he usually writes under the name of Mark Juddery, he has previously written blogs and articles (mainly on spiritual and sports-related topics) under the name ‘Noivedya’, a name that was given to him by Sri Chinmoy.[2]

As well as hundreds of articles, Juddery has written the books 1975 - Australia's Greatest Year (John Wiley and Sons, 2005) and Busted! The 50 Most Overrated Things in History (Random House, 2008), both for the Australian market.[3] In 2010, Busted! was re-published for the US market by Perigree Books (a division of Penguin) in New York, substantially revised and rewritten by the author, with the new title Overrated: The 50 Most Overhyped Things in History. Several chapters were replaced, some of them because they were on topics unknown to American readers (e.g. Gallipoli).[4]

Juddery currently lives in Canberra, Australia, where he has written a popular weekly column for the Canberra Times since 2007.[5]
