I am a Lecturer in Publishing Practice in the School of Culture and Communication at Melbourne University. I have also worked as an in-house and freelance editor for Penguin Random House, Allen and Unwin, UQP, Working Title Press, Thames and Hudson and Rockpool Publishing.My academic research focuses on the intersection between publishing, law and policy, how author–publisher relationships are negotiated post contract and the incidence and impact of editorial mediation of texts both in print and online.
