Annie Wright
Annie Wright is one of the most recognisable figures in the Australian music industry: Record executive, a publicist, promoter and manager who worked across records, tours, television and film from the 1970s onward. And she built a reputation for taking on the jobs, and the personalities, everyone else called impossible. Her memoir, She Does Difficult, tells it all.

The Memoir
She Does Difficult
An intimate, funny and unsparing account of a life spent backstage: the records, the tours, the film sets, the difficult personalities — and the love, loss and faith that carried her through a famously male-dominated industry.
