澳大利亚文学出版界失去了一位开创性人物。希拉里·麦克菲逝世，享年85岁1。作为麦克菲·格里布尔出版社的联合创始人，她在1975年与朋友戴安娜·格里布尔共同创办了这家出版社1，并通过精准的眼光和商业头脑，将多部澳大利亚文学经典推向读者。
麦克菲出版社早期凭借《实用花鹈鹕》儿童系列这一畅销作品获得商业成功，该系列共销售300万册1。随后，出版社推出了海伦·加纳的《猴子握把》（1977年出版）1和蒂姆·温顿的《云街》1，后者在2003年被澳大利亚作家协会评选为该国最佳小说1。1989年，企鹅出版社收购了麦克菲·格里布尔出版社1。
除了出版事业外，麦克菲在公共文化领域也作出了重要贡献。她于1994至1997年间担任澳大利亚艺术委员会首位女性主席1，并在2001年获得澳大利亚勋章及文学服务奖1。她还出版了两部回忆录《他人的话语》（2001年）和《他人的房子》（2019年）1，记录了自己在编辑、商业和文化领域的非凡人生。
Hilary McPhee, a pioneering Australian publisher who shaped the country's literary landscape, has passed away at age 85.1 In 1975, she co-founded McPhee Gribble Publishers with Diana Gribble, establishing a publishing house that would introduce and champion some of Australia's most celebrated authors.1 The press published Helen Garner's "Monkey's Grip" in 1977, a novel that remains influential nearly five decades later, and Tim Winton's "Cloudstreet," which was recognized as Australia's best novel by the Australian Society of Authors in 2003.1
McPhee's influence extended beyond publishing into the broader cultural sphere. She served as the first female chair of the Australia Council from 1994 to 1997 and was awarded the Order of Australia in 2001 for her services to literature.1 The early success of McPhee Gribble Publishers was built partly on the "Practical Pelican" children's series, which sold 3 million copies, and through licensing agreements with Penguin Publishers.1 Penguin acquired the publishing house in 1989.1 In her later years, McPhee authored two memoirs: "Other People's Words" (2001) and "Other People's Houses" (2019), reflecting on a career that fundamentally transformed Australian publishing and literary culture.1
