This month, researchers from the Community Publishing in Regional Australia project have shared a report from their recent fieldwork trip to Alice Springs. The research project has several aims, not least of which is to support the growing number of Australians in regional areas who are using digital technologies to write and publish their books. The team have some exciting plans and I’m looking forward to reading more about what they discover over the next two years.
I also spoke to debut author and illustrator Ryan Abramowitz about his picture book, Elegy for an Elephant. Ryan consulted with a range of professionals in different fields in the process of creating his book, which aims to be a support resource for readers navigating grief, inspired by his and his family’s lived experience.
This is the last Independent Publishing newsletter for this year. We’ll be taking a short break and returning in February next year. If you have any thoughts or questions in the meantime, you can reach out to me at brad@booksandpublishing.com.au.
Happy reading (and writing)!
