'Life Writing would like to record our appreciation and thanks for the work of Dr Rachel Robertson, who is stepping down from her editorial role. Rachel was Associate Editor from 2013 to 2015 and Reflections Editor from 2015 to the present. We have benefitted hugely from her expertise and judgement in the field of reflective memoir. Her own memoir, Reaching One Thousand (‘a deeply enriching book’ - The Age), was shortlisted for the 2013 National Biography Award. We hope Rachel will go on keeping a friendly eye on the journal's work as she takes up a position on the editorial board.
'At the same time we welcome Dr Kylie Cardell as Life Writing's new Reflections Editor. Kylie was recently a guest editor (together with Professor Kate Douglas) of the journal's December 2017 issue. That edition (‘Locating Lives’) resulted from the important inaugural Regional IABA Conference, which launched the International Auto/Biography Association's Asia-Pacific chapter. We look forward to Kylie's influence on the journal's future development.'
