The Australian Publishers Association (APA) has announced the mid-career editors selected to attend the 2022 Residential Editorial Program (REP), to take place in Sydney from 21–24 February.

The editors selected for the program are:

  • Rebecca Allen (Hachette)
  • Meaghan Amor (freelance)
  • Rebecca Bauert (Black Inc.)
  • Rachel Dennis (HarperCollins)
  • Emily Hart (Hardie Grant)
  • Tom Langshaw (Pantera)
  • Vanessa Lanaway (freelance)
  • Margot Lloyd (UQP)
  • Amanda Martin (PRH)
  • Nicola Santilli (A&U)
  • Yasmin Smith (UQP)
  • Luna Soo (HGCP)
  • Sophie Splatt (A&U)
  • Cathy Vallance (UQP)
  • Meg Whelan (Affirm).

The editors will work on an unpublished manuscript with mentors Jo Butler, Linda Funnell and Grace Lucas-Pennington, and will receive presentations from a range of guest speakers.

The program, which runs biennially and last took place in 2017, resumes after Covid restrictions and a lack of Australia Council funding resulted in the APA being unable to offer it in 2019. For the first time, this year’s REP includes scholarship positions for First Nations and freelance editors, the latter provided through the Institute of Professional Editors.
