Implementing a Trauma-informed Editing Framework: Practical Benefits to Editor and Author Wellbeing and the Role of Reading Resilience in Australian Editing Praxis

Did you know 75 percent of Australians will experience at least one traumatic event in their lifetime, with up to 70% of these events occurring before that person reaches adulthood? Given this capacity for the human lifetime to include some degree or extent of traumatic experience, and recognising that writing itself is often a vehicle for processing and sharing trauma experience, it is not unreasonable to expect referential implications in the editing and publishing industry. Despite this, the centrality of trauma and, by extension, the need for trauma-informed practice, remains relatively unexplored in the editing and publishing context, specifically in terms of how trauma-informed principles can be integrated and applied in the everyday publishing environment. By examining the associations between trauma-informed editing practice and best-practice self-care, Camilla invites you to consider how these skills might assist editors in avoiding the adverse consequences of secondary trauma exposure in the course of editing.
