Abstract
Ellen van Neerven was awarded the David Unaipon Award for an unpublished manuscript in 2013. That manuscript was published as Heat and Light by the University of Queensland Press in 2014 and has been acclaimed in Australia and internationally. Her short stories have been published in local and international literary journals and she’s a commissioning editor at The Lifted Brow. Van Neerven is just as active an editor as she is a writer. She was a participant in the inaugural Indigenous Editing Internship program at the State Library of Queensland in 2011, part of the black&write! project, and she continues to work with emerging Indigenous writers and editors through black&write! She edited the 2014 digital collection of Indigenous writing, Writing Black. I spoke to her after she had returned to Brisbane after several weeks travelling in Central Australia and the United States.
