Authors naturally are deeply connected to the writing process, their story and the background research or life experience which supports it. However, when the author's creation is almost ready to emerge into the world, authors are often overwhelmed with a bewildering array of choices, pathways, languages, traditions and publishing options. Moreover, the information revolution has changed the way readers wish to receive information, share ideas and discuss the implications of what they have read, felt, seen and heard.
Hello, my name is James Davidson. With extensive international experience as a scholarly, educational and professional publisher – including decades working in several of the world’s leading publishing houses, I have founded Your Publishing Profile to help authors seeking to publish their work in a medium which matches their goals.
Through one-to-one discussion around your needs as an author, we find creative publishing solutions which help to meet your life and/ or professional requirements. Ultimately, this process can lead you toward building an author enterprise which may be sustained, grown and renewed by your intellectual capital.
Since 1976 I have worked with thousands of authors – in fields from biophysics, biochemistry and molecular biology, allied health and social sciences, family studies, ethics and environment, Indigenous knowledge systems, education, early childhood development and cultural studies, to economics, business, medicine and law – to see their work published and move forward with their careers. Drawing on a tested network of support services, I specialise in appropriate, creative and effective low-cost publishing solutions for Masters and PhD candidates, researchers, educators, practitioners, Indigenous authors, the University Press, scholarly or professional society, and public or private institution. My current base is in Melbourne, Australia.
