About this episode
In 1974, two Melbourne feminists saw an opportunity to shake up the British-owned male-heavy publishing scene in Australia.Hilary McPhee, a novice editor at the time, along with her friend Dianne Gribble formed a small inner city publishing firm McPhee Gribble. Together, they launched and championed new Australian authors that have become household names like Helen Garner, Tim Winton and Kaz Cooke. Hilary first wrote about this in her 2001 memoir Other People's Words. Now 25 years later, she has updated and republished it with a new chapter exploring emojis, podcasts and AI's impact on the business.
