To tell my story: a study of practising professional Indigenous writers of Australia

To tell my story

Looks at the characteristics of the Indigenous writers and their writing, their motivation and their self-definition as professionals. It discusses the issues surrounding the Australia Council, publishing, intellectual property and access to grants.

This research project set out to collect reliable information about the Indigenous writer in Australia which could be used to help the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders Arts Board and the Australia Council in policy development and grants programs.

The study focusses on the employment and economic circumstances of the Indigenous writers as well as exploring issues such as access to publishing and the motivations of the writers.
