— Appears in: The Conversation , 20 September 2022;

1 1 y separately published work icon Success Story - International Rights Sales of Australian-Authored Books : Main Report Jan Zwar , Paul Crosby , Airlie Lawson , Sunny Y. Shin , North Ryde : Macquarie University , 2021 23330464 2021 multi chapter work criticism essay 'Over many years Australian book publishers, literary agents and authors have reported rights sales success in major English language territories such as the USA, UK and Canada and translation markets including Germany, France, China and Taiwan to the industry’s Books+Publishing’s ‘Think Australian’ e-newsletter and to the Visiting International Publishers (VIPs) program run by the Australia Council for the Arts. Anecdotally, the international success of Australian-authored books has been acknowledged and celebrated within the industry. Despite the important commercial and cultural contribution of these rights sales and other forms of export, there has been and remains a lack of unified research that examines the patterns of growth and nature of rights sales in a systematic way.'
