Nancy Keesing's Legacy
The Australian Society of Authors has long published and sold practical books for writers. The society's publishing arm, Keesing Press, now has its own website.
Keesing Press was originally established in 1993, funded by a bequest from writer, critic and poet, the late Nancy Keesing. 'The Committee of Management decided that a publishing imprint in her name was a fitting tribute to a long-standing ASA member who was known for her generosity, her commitment to writing and her concern for fellow writers.'
Current Keesing Press titles include Australian Book Contracts (now in its 4th edition) and Between the Lines: A Legal Guide for Writers and Illustrators by Lynne Spender.
Hazel Edwards's book, Authorpreneurship, offers practical strategies for authors on adapting to a fast-changing, digital, global industry.
