Overview
I have had the great honour of editing books for over 15 years – each one derived from a place of passion, obsession and deep thought. I have edited books that went on to win accolades such as the Prime Minister's Prize for Australian History; Premier's Literary Awards; The Age Book of the Year; The Australian Awards for Excellence in Educational Publishing and various self-publishing awards.
