Linda Martin interviews Aboriginal writers Sabrina Dudgeon‑Swift and Casey Mulder about the influence of Fremantle Press and landmark Indigenous publications.
Throughout its fifty-year history, Fremantle Press has championed Western Australian writing and storytelling.
In her publishing memoir, A Tale of Two Publishing Houses, Linda Martin documents the trailblazing work commenced by Ray Coffey as Fremantle Press's first publisher. She highlights his nurturing of Aboriginal voices and stories — work that resulted in landmark publications such as Sally Morgan's My Place.
In this session, Linda Martin will interview Aboriginal writers Sabrina Dudgeon-Swift and Casey Mulder to explore the important influence that such books have had on their own writing and publishing practices.
