I love what I do. And I love that every day I can do what I love … read
After studying for a diploma in professional writing and editing at RMIT several decades ago, I worked for various publishers and publishing-related organisations including: Writers Victoria; Express Media (publishers of youth magazine Voiceworks); National Book Council; Lonely Planet, black dog books, Readings (as a book buyer), the Victoria Government Gazette and as a manuscript assessor for Writers Victoria.
At the same time I freelanced as a proofreader and editor for clients ranging from book publishers and PR/design firms to self-publishers 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 operating Karen Tait Publicity.
Oh, and did I mention I love to read?
