Do you need help managing words in print or online publications? I can help.

I am a freelance editor, journalist and book reviewer with a background in Information Management-librarianship.

I have written for newspapers, magazines, professional journals and newsletters, websites and intranets.

My editorial experience includes all of the above and ranges from magazines through to book publishing. I am a former Deputy Editor of Good Reading magazine.

I’ve also had a long career managing library communications, resources, teams and services at Sydney Ports Corporation, SBS (the Special Broadcasting Service – Australia’s multilingual, multicultural broadcaster) and at the University of Sydney.

What’s new? I’ve recently started a new job as Collection Development Librarian with a local council and was also thrilled to be asked to be project leader for the library’s National Year of Reading 2012 events and activities. Busy! I have some reviews in the current issue of Inside History and will be posting them here soon and am working on a cover story and more reviews.

I’ve also signed up to take the 2012 Australian Women Writers Challenge which involves reading and reviewing works by our wonderful women writers.

My interview with Kim Scott about some beautiful picture books which are part of the Wirlomin Noongar Language and Stories Project is published here in Inside History magazine. I have some book reviews coming up in the current issue and will post links when they go online.

My review of Mad Dog: William Cyril Moxley and the Moorebank Killings by Australian crime writer Peter Corris and a mini-interview with him was in the September issue of Bookseller+Publisher magazine and is posted here on their Fancy Goods blog.

I’ve also been catching up with the posting of a backlog of material (reviews and articles) which have been published elsewhere. It’s taking a while …
