Significant projects over 25 years.

Book editing

Developing and editing manuscripts for commercial book publishers over 20 years on a range of subjects including politics, history, biography, memoirs, essays, natural history, art and architecture.

An example that shows the lasting value of a thoroughly developed publication is The Reader’s Digest Complete Book of Australian Birds, the definitive, fully illustrated survey of native and visiting species. The first edition was published in 1976 and the book is still on sale for $69.95. Highly recommended.

"John Carrick has provided editorial services on a range of Allen & Unwin book projects including history, sociology, economics and social issues. On all these assignments his editorial work was skilled, accurate and consistent."
