‘Research/teaching in editing/publishing’, EdsQ speaker presentation with Dr Dallas J Baker
by Kayt Duncan
Associate Professor in writing, editing and publishing at the University of Southern Queensland Dr Dallas J Baker is well aligned with the editing and publishing landscape in Australia.
His positive yet realistic look at what he describes as a ‘research-poor’ industry offers insights into the landscape of challenges in a crowded publishing marketplace. His stories explain why industry-specific knowledge is valuable to those looking to stamp their name on the evolving writer-driven boom.
He talked about the range of activities that will benefit a writer — much wider than the core activity of writing. Enjoy Dr Baker’s pragmatic view of the changing and adapting world of writing, editing and publishing from the viewpoint of those who teach and research it.
