When authors deliver their manuscript, they expect to hold a book in their hands within a few months, to download their ebook, and listen to the audio edition. Clive's role at Penguin Random House Australia is to help make this happen. He has worked at independent and corporate book publishers in the UK and Australia, leading editorial and production processes from manuscript to final files, with twenty years of hands-on editing experience in fiction and non-fiction for adults. He especially loves literary and commercial fiction, memoir, cookery and personal development.
Clive will not be assessing books for young readers, poetry or drama.
