From 2004-2006 he was associate editor of ''Space: New Writing'' and in 2013 he was inaugural poetry editor of ''Australian Book Review''. McCooey, described by Nicholas Birns in ''The Australian'' as ‘one of the pioneers of Australian studies of life writing’,〔Nicholas Birns, 'On Our Selection', review of ''The Cambridge History of Australian Literature'', ''The Australian'', 4th November 2009, p. 21.〕 is the author of a key critical work in Australian autobiography, ''Artful Histories: Modern Australian Autobiography'', which was published by Cambridge University Press in 1996, and re-published in 2009.
