so please come back soon for new features!
With over 35 years’ experience as an author, biomedical researcher, writer and publisher, and a life-long interest in photography, I now run my own business, Anne Jackson Publishing and Photography. I am driven by my passion for the highest standards in both.
Beginning my veterinary career in general practice, I moved into medical and veterinary research, and then writing and editing.
I have been a passionate photographer for as long as I can remember, and all my research involved photography using either light or electron microscopy.
Animal welfare (and then One Health) has always been a priority. I was appointed as Australia’s first official Animal Welfare Officer at Monash University in 1994. My other roles were as government veterinarian and a freelance medical and technical writer and editor.
I was appointed to be Scientific Editor and then Editor in Chief of the Australian Veterinary Journal (AVJ) from 2005 to 2019, and I was a passionate advocate for the quality and integrity of the Journal for 14 years.
I love being able to mentor authors to translate their complicated biomedical drafts into streamlined and focused articles that give the key messages for their target audiences.
