The dream author – Emma Rafferty
So, you’ve got the publishing deal, but what next?
Managing Editor of Pan Macmillan Australia, Emma Rafferty, will talk you through the steps and skills that you’ll need as part of being published. From whether submitting cover ideas is a good idea, to whether you should retain your own international rights, what legal considerations you need to keep in mind, to permissions issues all the way to publicity photos, Emma can let you know what to expect when you’re expecting to be published.
As well as general advice on the whole process, Emma will talk in detail about how an author should approach an edit and their editor in order to get the most positive out come—for you, for your book, for the publisher, and for your sales.

Before Pan, she worked for eight years in various editorial roles for education and legal publishers LexisNexis Australia and CCH Australia Limited, starting in the entry-level position of Production Editor. It was in these companies where Emma really learnt the ‘trade of editing’, but her heart and her passion is in trade publishing—especially fiction!
