Meet Events & Communication Manager Debbie Lee
In a publishing career spanning over 30 years, Debbie has worked in trade sales, and as a commissioning editor and publishing manager in the vocational, academic and professional sectors with publishers including Cambridge University Press, Elsevier and NewSouth Publishing.
More recently, Debbie was Senior Manager, Content Acquisition and Business Development with Ingram Content Group. In this role Debbie assisted publishers large and small, from multinationals to Australian-owned operators and independent authors, with their print on demand and ebook distribution needs.
Debbie has witnessed the monumental shifts that have occurred with the advent of new technology and is excited by the democratisation this has created in the industry. In 2023 she launched ‘The Book Maven’ consultancy to cater to the small press and independent author community. She is most excited to be working with the Small Press Network to help curate a host of cutting-edge and informative sessions at the Independent Publishing Conference 2023.
