WRITER OF THE YEAR
(CONSUMER MAGAZINES)
Robert Chalmers
GQ
The.Condé.Nast.Publications
Demonstrably one of the most accomplished journalists in Britain,
Robert has a bloodhound’s nose for a story, a tigerish persistence in
hunting a story down and a novelist’s gift for telling it – perhaps not
surprising, considering he is also the author of two critically acclaimed
works of fiction. He is no one-trick pony either, doing everything
from riotous and unlikely celebrity interviews (such as his hilarious
encounter with Sixties fashion legend Paco Rabanne), to personal-
memoir-slash-reportage (see his extraordinary insider’s account of
the unusual attractions of the city of Marseilles), and world-beating
exclusives (there was arguably no better – or more sought-after –
interview published anywhere last year than his with Sir Alex Ferguson).
Whether it’s sports, culture, travel, celebrity or a mixture of all three,
if there’s skulduggery that needs exposing, a hermetic icon who
deserves rediscovering or a pertinent point to be made about life as
a man in contemporary Britain, Robert is an endlessly entertaining
one-stop shop – a true master of magazine journalism. The judges said:
“Each article captivates the reader from start to finish, displaying a
tremendous lightness of touch and incredible flair.”
