About

From the desk of a professional party girl.

I'm Eliza Campbell, a Melbourne editor and writer. I've edited Concrete Playground, Time Out Melbourne and Halliday Wine Companion.

At Concrete Playground I led the Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane editions and read 80-odd PR pitches every workday. I know which ones get opened, which get forwarded and which get covered, and why.

I've also worked brand-side, on content and PR strategy and tone of voice at MADE Group and Afterpay. Editor in Residence brings both sides together. It's just me, working directly with you.

I hold a Master of Writing and Publishing from RMIT, with a thesis on Australian native advertising, and a WSET Level 2 with Distinction.
