Lauren Smith is the publisher at the National Library of Australia. In her experience at NLA Publishing and previously Australian Geographic, she has made over 100 books focusing mostly on non-fiction titles that open up Australian history and culture, including Postscript: Life, Love and Loss in Australian Letters. The first letter she ever sent was a note slid under her parents’ bedroom door and the last letter she sent was to her goddaughter, which contained a uniquely terrible illustration of a unicorn.
