Hi there!
My name is Helen Koehne and I’m here to help you with words.
I discovered the power of pairing the right words with the right audience while working in a bookshop
as a student. That’s when I decided I wanted to be immersed in the world of language and help others share their stories.
I established Editorial Combat in Melbourne in 2006, editing book manuscripts, literary and professional magazines, and journals. Since then, I've expanded into producing online content in the form of copywriting, articles, blogs and digital resources.
My fields of particular expertise include the following:
I have worked in the publishing industry for more than 19 years, including in-house roles at Oxford University Press, Cengage and Lonely Planet. I am an experienced manuscript assessor for Writers Victoria, and have been on the judging panel for various writing and editorial prizes.
I am an Accredited Editor, and a member of the Institute of Professional Editors and Editors Victoria.
