Hi there! 

My name is Helen Koehne and I’m here to help you with the words. 
A line from Dead Poets Society tells us that ‘Words and ideas can change the world’.
And I couldn’t agree more.

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 work in publishing. 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.

My fields of particular expertise include the following:
  • history 
  • politics & current affairs
  • economics
  • literature & culture
  • art & design
  • illustrated books
  • travel
  • religion.

I have worked in the publishing industry for more than 14 years, including in-house roles at Oxford University Press 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.
