McGuire began story-writing with detective stories, some of which were published in the United Kingdom.[7] Between 1932 and 1936, McGuire published ten novels, a book of verse and an essay on the poetry of Gerard Manley Hopkins.[8]
During World War II, McGuire was an officer of the Royal Australian Naval Volunteer Reserve.[9] In May 1945, McGuire was demobilised from the Navy and took up a role as special European correspondent for The Argus newspaper.[6] In the role he visited Ireland, France, the Scandinavian countries, Holland, Belgium and Germany; meeting Konrad von Preysing and Martin Niemöller whilst in Germany. McGuire returned to Australia in January 1947, having also visited Canada and the United States on the way home.[10] While in North America McGuire met personally then US President Harry S. Truman and Canadian Prime Minister Mackenzie King.[11]
