Before joining the publishing industry full time, she had over 20 years’ experience in scripting and performing in Visual Theatre and Theatre in Education. In 2012, she set up Awesome Indies Book Awards to showcase quality independent fiction, but stepped aside from that organisation to publish other authors. She lives in Australia with a husband and a cheeky Burmese cat called George. She also has a wonderful adult daughter.

Quotes by Tahlia Newland (?)

“Ignore this advice and some people will discard your work as amateurish. You’ll never know because they won’t tell you; they’re too busy editing books, or teaching their creative writing students or reading better quality books.”

“When I’m self-editing, I search for all those ‘was’es and ‘were’s and see if I can write the sentences better without them. I usually can. This one tip made a huge difference to the quality of my prose.”
