Abstract:Drawing on theories and methodologies associated with the field of textual criticism and scholarly editing, as well as those associated with the field of book history, this article examines the publishing of Christos Tsiolkas's novel The Slap in the United States. All aspects of the publication process are surveyed—including design, marketing, and screen adaptation—but this article devotes its greatest critical attention to the editorial process. Ultimately, it contends that reading a US edition of The Slap is a substantially different experience from reading an Australian edition. This groundbreaking argument is the result of several unique or rare critical decisions. This article is unique, firstly, in the scope of its examination of the publishing of an Australian book in the United States—considering editorial, design, marketing, and screen adaptation. Second, it is rare for its close analysis of a previously overlooked category of editorial variation between editions. Finally, this article is uncommon because its analysis of editorial variation is focused on a book that received editorial attention that is reflective of a contemporary industry standard, rather than an outlier case. What remains unknown, however, is how typical Tsiolkas's The Slap is of US editions of contemporary books originally published in Australia.

Abstract:The Miles Franklin Literary Award has long been recognized as Australia's most prestigious literary prize: winners include include Patrick White, Thea Astley, Thomas Keneally, Peter Carey, David Malouf, Kim Scott, Shirley Hazzard, Anna Funder, and Michelle de Kretser. But it is given for works that "present Australian life in any of its phases." So how is this very local prize valued on the global stage? There is little empirical research into the connection between national literary prizes and the licensing of international rights. Yet these licenses are a recognized indicator of literary value. Building on the existing records in the AustLit database, Miles Franklin Rights Project researchers tracked down twenty-one years of international editions of shortlisted and Miles Franklin–winning titles to discover the where, when, and who of their publishing lives. The result is a fully searchable data set that researchers can draw on to explore the relationship between local and global literary value. This article demonstrates the benefit of combining digital bibliographical approaches with sociologically informed publishing studies to produce new data that can be used to discover new insights into Australia's status on the international literary field.

Abstract:This article investigates the publication of Australian authors of "good commercial fiction" in the United States in the 1950s and 1960s. When the early careers of Morris West, Jon Cleary, and George Johnston are traced through their association with William Morrow and Company, the importance to these careers of publishers, editors, literary agents, and other stakeholders becomes apparent. Each author built a substantial career of largely successful fiction over successive titles with the ongoing support of Morrow as publisher, plus key links with editors and literary agents. For West and Cleary in particular, the United States became a primary place of publication and editorial advice across these decades. While the good commercial fiction of these authors is rarely acknowledged in Australian literary history, their position within the field of book history and print culture clearly shows how important these examples are to understanding the dynamics of transnational print culture and its significant effect on the ways in which Australian novels were commissioned, edited, published, and reviewed, particularly in the United States. Revealed in correspondence and other publishing records, the often complex negotiations required to transform an Australian novel into a US book exhibit the cultural and commercial contingencies experienced throughout an author's career, demonstrating that good commercial fiction provides a rich field of inquiry to expand and complicate our ideas of Australian authorship.
