The Memoir
She Does Difficult
An intimate, entertaining and unflinching memoir from one of Australian music's great insiders.
Coming November 2026
For fifty years Annie Wright made other people famous. She sold the records, booked the interviews, held the tour together and kept the stories to herself.
She Does Difficult is what happens when she finally tells them. It moves from the smoky corridors of RCA in 1974 to Los Angeles hustle, Hollywood film sets and back to an Australian industry she helped build — funny, unsentimental and disarmingly honest about ambition, exhaustion, love and loss.
It is also a book about being underestimated. About being handed the jobs nobody else wanted, and the personalities nobody else could manage, because — as the title says — she does difficult.
