I have authored, edited and published articles, features, opinion columns, book chapters and books.

Online successes include blogs, brochures, product descriptions, biographies and newsletters.

A recent large-scale content marketing commission was the selection, research and writing of 150 x 150-word texts for a corporate client seeking to celebrate their long and successful history.

My skills include structural and copy editing. I can edit your grant application, book or PhD thesis.

Experience

In 2008 I founded the University of Adelaide Press and I was responsable for:

• launch strategy
• attracting authors
• establishing submission and review processes
• design of book covers, catalogues, newsletters, web pages
• printer and distributor pipelines
• establishing a shopping cart (first one in the University)
• establishing social media accounts
• copyright management
• intellectual property permissions
• setting up partnerships with Oxford and Cambridge Presses
• Open Access licences and processes

I oversaw the complete processes to publish and promote 75+ books across 19 diverse research areas and those books found over 1 million readers by September 2018.

A wine title won a prestigious international award for best viticulture book.

In the 2000s I was commissioned to write 3 legal-based books on core aspects of the South Australian legal structures – First Among Equals:  Chief Justices of South Australia since Federation, A History of the Independent Bar of South Australia and John Jefferson Bray: a Vigilant Life.

During the 1990s to the early 2000s I completed three degrees at Adelaide University in South Australia and one at the Sorbonne-Nouvelle-Paris III in Paris. I ended up with a Masters thesis written in French and a PhD in English that compared colonialism in French and Australian films.

In my spare time I tutor French and keep up to date with French current affairs. I am a Visiting Research Fellow at Adelaide Law School.
