Earlier this year, she attended the Residential Editorial Program at Varuna House. The program, an Australian Publishers Association initiative, is for mid-career editors and has been described by Michael Heyward (Text Publishing) as ‘an extraordinarily valuable program. It gives editors a unique opportunity to learn more about their craft, both from their mentors and from each other.’

I spoke to Emma about what makes a good editor, the editor–author relationship and the best way to characterise the editor: as diplomat, midwife or handmaiden?

Produced by Rafiq Copeland. Music is Pompey.
