Keynote Speakers:
The keynote speakers for Collections 3.0, award-winning Cree author
Larry Loyie and partner, editor and writer Constance Brissenden
(www.firstnationswriter.com).
Larry and Constance will be presenting *An Inside Look at First
Nations Publishing*. This will be a behind the scenes look at the
process by which First Nations publishers consider manuscripts for
publication and the editorial process behind their development. The
keynote address will also touch upon the appropriation of First Nations
cultures in books written by non-First Nations authors and the pressures
to make books seem "more First Nations." Based on a combined 35 years*
experience in Canadian publishing, Larry and Constance will share their
insider's impressions on legitimate First Nations publishing and
would-be First Nations books.
The keynote presentation is kindly sponsored by Blackwell Book
Services.
