1 Case-study : Editing Indigenous Writing Josie Douglas , Robyn Sheahan-Bright , 2006 single work criticism
— Appears in: Paper Empires : A History of the Book in Australia 1946-2005 2006; (p. 189-191) ‘In 2004 the Literature Board funded the third biennial Residential Editorial Program (REP), at Varuna in the Blue Mountains.These intensive courses have been immensely successful, with groups of a dozen book editors working with mentors such as Jacqueline Kent, Bruce Sims, Meredith Rose, Sophie Cunningham and Judith Lukin-Amundsen to develop unpublished fiction manuscripts. Editing Indigenous work has been a particular focus at all three programs, and participants have universally expressed their appreciation of the sessions run by Indigenous editors and writers such as Mary Graham, Josie Douglas, Melissa Lucashenko and Anita Heiss. Bruce Sims and Meredith Rose were also able to report on their experiences (working with Magabala Books), as was Sue Abbey for University of Queensland Press.’(Introduction 189)

'Drawing on a wide range of Indigenous cultures and artistic traditions from Canada, the United States, Australia and Aotearoa - New Zealand, skins is an exciting new addition to Indigenous literature in print. Among celebrated names like Maria Campbell (Halfbreed), Alootook Ipellie (Arctic Dreams and Nightmares), Sally Morgan (My Place), Patricia Grace (Potiki), Sherman Alexie (Smoke Signals), Linda Hogan (Seeing through the Sun and Mean Spirit), Thomas King (Green Grass, Running Water), Louise Erdrich (Tracks) and Witi Ihimaera (Bulibasha), Skins also presents some of the brightest emerging Indigenous talent from around the world. These writers have given us classic works and daring innovation; they are marking out new trails for the writers who will follow. And, as these pages show, they are producing some of the most inspiring beautiful and provocative writing anywhere.
