Meet the founder of Stellar Words
Leigh Robshaw is an Australian journalist, editor, award-winning author and Professional Member of the Institute of Professional Editors (IPEd.).
She studied a Bachelor of Arts majoring in journalism and professional writing and began her career working in magazines in Sydney in the early 1990s. She has worked as a journalist, travel writer and feature writer for major media organisations and is a sought-after copywriter for PR and marketing agencies. She was employed as an in-house editor and ghostwriter at Hay House Australia for many years, working on books for prominent authors in the self-development and human potential field, and has worked as a magazine editor and subeditor for the past 20 years.
In 2019, Leigh published her first book, a rollicking memoir set in Latin America. The book received excellent reviews and won Australia’s High Country Indie Book Award 2020. Leigh is now excited to offer other writers the opportunity to self-publish their own books. The Stellar Words team can help guide the process from start to finish, or just step in for certain parts of the publishing journey. We are here to help you realise your dream of becoming a published author. There’s nothing like holding that book in your hand for the first time!
