Meyer to leave Echo Publishing to pursue writing career
Angela Meyer, publisher at Echo Publishing, is leaving the house to pursue a career in writing and freelance editing.
Meyer joined the team at Echo Publishing as a commissioning editor in 2014. In 2018 Echo became an imprint of Bonnier Books UK and Meyer was promoted to publisher. Meyer has published many award-winning and internationally published Australian books and a global number one bestseller, The Tattooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris.
“I am enormously grateful for my five years at Echo, for everything I have learnt and every experience with my colleagues in Australia and internationally, with my authors, and among the pages of manuscripts … I’m looking forward to finding a new balance between writing and editing, and I’m excited to watch Echo continue to go from strength the strength.”

Meyer’s debut novel, A Superior Spectre, was published by Peter Bishop Books (Ventura) in Australia and Saraband in the UK, and has been shortlisted for four literary awards.
“I would like to thank Angela for being a brilliant colleague, outstanding publisher, and a shining light in the Australian publishing community.”
