I love what I do.
And I love that every day I can do what I love… read
I have worked inhouse for various publishers and publishing-related organisations including:
Express Media (publishers of youth magazine Voiceworks); National Book Council; Lonely Planet; black dog books; Readings (children’s books buyer); Victoria Government Gazette; Administrative Appeals Tribunal (proofreader five years); Fairfax Community Newspapers; Writers Victoria (as manuscript assessor).
At the same time I freelanced as a proofreader and editor for clients ranging from book publishers and comms/PR firms to councils and education publishers.
I then launched Karen Tait Services full-time to better accommodate clients’ needs.
I was previously a marketing and publicity professional and worked for/with: the Melbourne International Film Festival; the Australian Film Institute; Cinema Nova (as General Manager); Newvision Film Distributors; and operated Karen Tait Publicity.
Education: Monash University, Bachelor Arts; RMIT, Diploma Professional Writing and Editing.
Karen is very trustworthy and a thorough and sympathetic editor. Authors can sometimes be challenging, but Karen was professional in her attitude and understanding of the demands of an author and their work.
