Publisher Profile: Allen & Unwin  

Allen & Unwin has been named 
Australian Publisher of the Year. Publisher Elizabeth Weiss has answered a few questions for RHYW, including "Are there any changes in the Australian publishing industry that are particularly affecting you?" Elizabeth answers: "The internet and other digital technologies is turning the established book industry on its head in Australia, as it is in the rest of the world, offering some fabulous opportunities, and also a fair few sleepless nights. We think it is critical to work closely with old and new industry partners, to constantly review what we're doing, to experiment with new ways of working, and above all, to keep our eyes and ears open."
