'Margaret Cossey has been a special-needs literacy teacher in both Government and Catholic schools. Cossey, a non-Indigenous Australian, is now widely recognised as one of Australia's most important figures in encouraging Aboriginal writers to write for young Australians. For the past 15 years she has led a remarkable innovation in Australian publication through the publishing company which she founded, Indij Readers Ltd. Almost all of the 50 or so Indigenous authors published by Indij Readers had not been previously published. Margaret Cossey established a series of processes and protocols to assist those previously unpublished authors to become published writers.'
