'In early 2005, I approached Lee White to invite her to collaborate in writing a paper for the biennial national editors' conference. I had read Lee's Master of Arts thesis on the role and status of book editors in Australia (White 1986) and I suggested that her earlier research constituted a critical historical and contextual framework for thinking about the role and status of book editors today. We agreed that it would be worth researching the intervening twenty years and set about identifying the areas we might wish to explore We decided to collaborate with colleagues and prepared a list of ten survey questions for a small, targeted sample of mostly freelance Melbourne-based book editors.' - Diane Brown, author's note, (p.90)

thesis
This thesis was the first attempt to research book editing in Australia. It attempts to assess the importance of book editors in the standards and evolution of contemporary Australian book publishing, to examine the influences which affect a book editor's work in Australia, and to look at the way the nature of the Australian book publishing industry has shaped book editing attitudes.
