Who is The Edit/ed?
The Edit/ed is owned and run by Haylee Kerans, a publishing industry and communications professional with over 15 years experience as a publisher, agent, editor, content director and marketer.
Hi, I’m Haylee. Thanks for stopping by! Here’s a little bit about me.,
As a publisher and literary agent, I worked with a number of Australia’s bestselling authors across fiction and non-fiction, including Kyle Perry, Sally Hepworth, Joanna Nell, Rachael Johns, Fiona McCallum, Kylie Scott, Peter Watt and Andrew Byrne.
At The Edit/ed, I am committed to elevating the art of writing. This venture is more than a business; it's a culmination of my lifelong dedication to nurturing and refining the written word. My experience in the publishing industry at Pan Macmillan and Harlequin has been instrumental in shaping my approach. In these roles, I did more than publish and edit; I nurtured stories, helping them blossom from nascent ideas into compelling narratives.
My background is a mosaic of roles that have shaped my expertise in social media marketing, digital content strategy, PR and copywriting. Managing dynamic marketing campaigns, ghostwriting, editing and publishing thought leadership, and writing SEO-optimised website content for ecommerce has honed my skills, allowing me to master the art of digital storytelling in a way that captivates and converts.
I would not hesitate in recommending Haylee Kerans to anyone in the publishing world looking for an expert. I worked with Haylee for the first few years of my publishing career and she could take the credit for much of my success. Haylee provides useful editorial insight at both the ideas and editing stage. She is passionate about books and the industry and will be an asset to your career, whether she is your agent, editor or mentor.
