To date Callwood has authored two books, both biographies of groups instrumental in establishing the Detroit garage rock scene of the late 1960s / early '70s. The first, MC5 biography ''Sonically Speaking'', was published in the UK in 2007, with ''The Stooges: A Journey Through The Michigan Underworld'' following in 2008. Both were published in North America on Wayne State Press, in the falls of 2010 and 2011 respectively. The US edition of the book on The Stooges was renamed ''The Stooges - Head On: A Journey Through The Michigan Underground''.

That came to an end in the Fall of 2012, when he started working full-time for the Metro Times newspaper in Detroit. From June 2011 until June 2014, Callwood had a weekly column in the ''Metro Times'' and a daily blog on MetroTimes.com called City Slang, cementing his standing as a major voice in Detroit music journalism. At the Metro Times, he graduated from freelance writer and columnist, to business assistant, to staff writer, to his final position as music editor. Callwood won consecutive SPJ (Society of Professional Journalists) Detroit awards in 2013, 2014 and 2015 for his features on Detroit musicians Ty Stone, Josh Malerman and the Insane Clown Posse respectively.

In August 2014, Callwood relocated to Colorado and began work at ''Yellow Scene'' magazine in Erie as an associate editor. He was promoted twice, to managing editor and then to the position of editor-in-chief. 2015 saw Callwood add to his SPJ Detroit award with a First Place award in the Colorado SPJs for a feature entitled "Options in Education," designed by Jennifer Ho. He also oversaw and edited a company-second First Place award, written by Ryan Howe and designed by Trisha Himmler, called "From Light to End of Life," focussing on the subject of death.
