Pub Talk: Brigid Mullane from Ultimo Press

Welcome to the first episode of our new interview series, Pub Talk, where we chat to some of Australia’s most experienced and influential publishers, editors and agents. During these conversations you’ll receive insiders’ information about the industry, as well as advice from experts on the many pathways to publication for new writers.

We’re thrilled to have Brigid Mullane as our first guest. She is the commissioning editor at Ultimo Press. Previously, she worked at Hachette Australia as both a managing editor and a senior editor.

Tune in to hear KYD publishing director Rebecca Starford and Brigid discuss the role of a commissioning editor, Ultimo Press’s plans for finding and publishing new writers, some of the press’s publication initiatives over the coming months, and how Australian publishers need to do better on diversity in their organisations.

Do you have a manuscript you’d like published? Check out KYD’s many writing courses that help writers get their work into the hands of editors.

Our theme song is Johnny Ripper’s ‘Typing’.
