Demystifying the Relationship Between Editors and Writers
October 29, 2026
Panelists Fazeela Jiwa, Lisa Frenette, and Emily Henderson discussed how editors and writers set expectations, share feedback, and build trust.
IEA webinars are informative presentations and Q&A sessions led by Indigenous publishing experts and allies, and they are open to everyone.
Following each webinar, Indigenous attendees will be invited to stay for one of the IEA's signature informal roundtable discussions: the Kitchen Table Talks. These smaller discussion groups are a safe space where Indigenous creatives can gather to expand on the webinar content and discuss how it applies to their work. Bring your questions for the webinar presenters, thoughts on what you learned, and a cup of tea, and be prepared for helpful conversation and maybe even some laughter.
Registration for each workshop will be announced approximately six weeks in advance on this webpage and social media, and members will receive the announcement in our newsletter. Registration for IEA members and partners is free; the fee for other participants is $25 CAD. If you aren't able to attend the live session, a recording will be available for registrants after each webinar.

The lands we live on connect us to the stories of our past and those that will be told in the future-the stories upon which our profession is based. These lands sustain and nourish us, and our relationships with each other help us thrive. The Indigenous Editors Association gives thanks to the the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, and səlilwətaɬ Peoples who continue to steward the lands on which our head office is located, in Vancouver, BC. It is in this spirit of gratitude that we carry out our work as Indigenous members of the publishing community.
