Clare Murphy has started a new series on her editing blog, The Invisible Mend. She is exploring the role of the editor in the digital age through conversations with a range of colleagues. And I have the great privilege of being the first person featured. in part one (posted 4 May), we discuss how I first realised that I was an editor, and the desirable balance between training and experience. In part two (due soon), we’ll explore Australia’s accreditation scheme for editors and working freelancing into your career with aplomb. Enjoy the conversation, as well as Clare’s other thought-provoking posts!
