This book was conceived for online delivery as a PDF. The content was collated from a range of the authors' blogs and seminar notes. I gave it quite a strong structural edit, moving bits around from here to there, as well as copyedit to integrate the two authors' voices and make it flow. I laid it out in Word, which was a fun project (for those who've played with automatic contents and section breaks, changing headers and footers, etc) and I also did some photo research to add some colour and interest.

The Keolis Downer Railway tender preparation process was an intensive one, with a large number of document components coming in from a number of departments requiring a very tight turnaround. I managed the editing and proofreading stage for all the tender documents. For this I was managing eight proofreaders, doing a lot of document traffic control, devising and implementing style guidelines and performing final checks of documents before and after they were typeset. The final submission contained: 13 binders and 4000 pages of text.

Since meeting Tendar, attending his meditation sessions and teachings and hearing his stories I was moved to try to help him raise money. I obtained free services from a graphic designer and a pre-production house, self funded the printing of this calendar and produced it in time for pre-Christmas sales.

client blurb: A review of the legislation was instigated following an external and internal review of how the Department manages plant biosecurity issues. Although amendments have been made to the PHPP Act since 1995, the department considers that it is time to commence a major review of the legislation, to meet a changing industry and biosecurity environment. The scope of the review is limited to reviewing the Plant Health and Plant Products Act 1995. It does not include weeds, which are managed under the Catchment and Land Protection Act 1994.
