About the IEA
The Indigenous Editors Association is a membership organization that was formed by Indigenous editors and publishing professionals in lands claimed by Canada as a mutual support network. We are here to carry out the vision of our early organizers and to create professional development and networking opportunities.
Our purpose is to:
- Strengthen relationships among Indigenous editors, storytellers, and publishing professionals;
- Create opportunities for training and professional development for Indigenous editors;
- Promote Indigenous editors in the publishing industry; and
- Create educational opportunities for the mainstream publishing industry to learn about working with Indigenous editors.
Indigenous stories and knowledge systems must be approached with Indigenous community-focused editing practices, employed with care by Indigenous editors. The IEA connects Indigenous people who work with stories with each other. In our diverse roles—as editors, proofreaders, knowledge keepers, Indigenous language and culture experts, designers, publishing professionals, and more—we will strategize, share, and learn together. We will take part in publishing and storytelling on our terms and with the needs of our communities in the centre of the circle. We hope to share our stories in a good way with each other and the world—the stories that created us and the ones that heal us.
