I worked in the independent-publishing sector for over a decade, specialising in print periodicals and nonfiction books. I project-managed titles from the pitch/manuscript stage, through editing and design, to the printed product, and have coordinated teams of authors, other editors and designers, along with liaising with printers, publicists, distributors and the media. After almost seven years at the helm of Metro, I then decided to move into a publishing-adjacent position in an arts-festival context.

Current roles:

• Publications and content coordinator for the Melbourne International Film Festival (from 2020).
• Consulting editor for online Asian-Australian outlet Liminal magazine (from 2016).

Previous roles:

• Editor of quarterly film and media magazine Metro (2013–2020).
• Editor-in-chief of sexuality and gender magazine Archer’s biannual print arm (2017–2019).
• Subeditor of quarterly media-literacy magazine Screen Education​ (2013–2020).
• In-house editor for small-press publisher Melbourne Books (2010–2013).
• Editor of annual literary anthology Award Winning Australian Writing (2009–2013).
• Contract editor for for RMIT University’s School of Architecture and Design, including the annual journal Kerb (2010–2013).
• Nonfiction editor (2008–2012) and then the deputy editor (2012–2013) of literary magazine Voiceworks.
• Contract editor of arts and culture magazine Fragmented (2011–2012).
• Member of Writers Victoria’s editorial committee (2013–2016).
