Writing, Editing, and Publishing Indigenous Stories

The Native American Literature Symposium is organized by an independent group of Indigenous scholars committed to making a place where Native voices can be heard.

The Indigenous Literary Studies Association invites scholars, knowledge-keepers, writers, artists, and community members to reconsider dominant discourses of reconciliation through explorations of Indigenous literatures as literatures of truth, reformation, reclamation, resurgence, and redress.

The conference was held in 2017, and was intended for Indigenous and non-Indigenous participants from all walks of life including publishers, editors, writers, storytellers, filmmakers, academics, translators, artists, librarians, and students.

Most sessions at the Writing Stick were recorded and stored. For access, visit the above link.

The Canadian Authors CanWrite! conference is a vibrant gathering that offers writers opportunities to learn, network, pitch, connect, and celebrate.

The Native American and Indigenous Studies Association (NAISA) is an interdisciplinary, international membership-based organization, comprised of scholars working in the fields of Native American and Indigenous Studies, broadly defined.

The Get Publishing Webinar Series is part of a stream of offerings named after the Get Publishing Communications Society (GPCS), which ceased to exist as of 2016 and gifted its brand to the Writers' Guild of Alberta.

The BPAA offers seminars and workshops that inform attendees about new developments in publishing, technology and management.

These webinars reflects on the settler-colonial legacies of libraries in North America while considering a model of the justice-centred “decolonial library” and its significance to Indigenous and settler readers alike.

No longer confined to printed sheets of paper between covers, or run by “traditional’ companies, publishing has returned to its historic roots of the creation of narrative and making it public. While publishing houses are still integral to this cultural industry, experimentation with content, and how it reaches the readers eyes, has created a dynamic publishing environment never seen before.

Facilitated by Black, Indigenous, and/or People of Colour (BIPOC) writers for BIPOC writers, the goal of this workshop series is to support and grow art and culture writing by people who are part of BIPOC communities.
