I am an accredited freelance book editor with over 20 years experience in the Australian publishing industry. In that time I have worked on over 250 books and art exhibition catalogues, mostly within the areas of educational, academic and trade book publishing. My particular interest is in the area of visual arts, but I also have extensive experience in many other areas, including education, sociology, humanities, social history and popular culture.
I have had experience working on many different types of books – non-fiction, fiction, textbooks, academic books, annual reports, exhibition catalogues, as well as website content for government organisations. I also edit academic theses. Some of my clients have included:
Pearson Education Australia, National Gallery of Victoria, National Gallery of Australia, the Arts Centre, Thames & Hudson, Cambridge University Press, Penguin Australia, Allen & Unwin, CEDA, Mallon Publishing, CSIRO, ACER Press, Education Services Australia, UNSW Press, Elsevier, Wiley.
I also edit manuscripts for private clients in the areas of fiction (especially young adult fiction), non-fiction (history, biography), and academic theses, specialising in visual art, industrial design and sustainable architecture.
