The Indigenous Editors Association is a membership organization formed by Indigenous editors, storytellers, and publishing professionals in lands claimed by Canada as a mutual support network. Members include Indigenous and non-Indigenous people and organizations working together to create transformative change in the ways Indigenous stories and knowledges are shared.
We create and share effective tools and initiatives to make publishing more accessible for emerging Indigenous professionals.
We welcome Indigenous and non-Indigenous people and organizations. Whether you're an emerging or well-established industry professional, or an employer looking for the right team member, we can help you advance in your career and connect with others in your field.

I believe the best leaders build capacity in others by encouraging and guiding them to their fullest potential and by removing any obstacles the leader has the influence to remove.

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.
