About

Build it and they will come. But with so much competition for everyone’s attention, the words you use and the media you choose are vital for keeping your audience engaged.

Control Publishing has the expertise to help you stand out from the crowd. We understand the importance of presenting information that is accurate and easily understood.

Control offers a total publishing service, from copywriting, editing and graphic design to printing and digital publishing. We offer personal service and attention to detail.

Control was founded in 1992 by Guy Nolch, who has an Honours degree in Science from The University of Melbourne and was Editor and Publisher of Australasian Science and its predecessor Search until 2019. Guy is also co-author with Prof Struan Sutherland of Dangerous Australian Animals (Hyland House), has written for several newspapers and magazines, and is an occasional presenter on ABC and commercial radio. In 2012 the Australian Science Communicators named Guy as its inaugural Unsung Hero of Australian Science Communication, and in 2019 the Australian Skeptics presented Guy with the Thornett Award for the Promotion of Reason.

Control Publishing has also been producing Chemistry in Australia for the Royal Australian Chemical Institute since 2001, with responsibilities for graphic design, printing and online publishing.
