1 The Marketing Was Crap Terri-Ann White , 2017 single work essay
— Appears in: Sydney Review of Books , May 2017; 'I want to talk about publishing and writing in Australia today. We have an old publishing industry that clings tightly to some of its early twentieth-century etiquette while dealing with a world in flux. Many of our evergreen habits are likely to be gone soon. We’ve spent years now debating the future of the book and what it might look like in e- and p- formats but we haven’t spoken about enough of the future, really, such as the sale or return policy we extend to our bookseller colleagues in the age of online selling. Or the advance/royalty system we conduct with our authors, 90 per cent of which is largely symbolic and an act of faith rather than a proper financial exchange after the first year or two. Thankfully, we’ve started to stop the waste of excess print runs so as to get unit costs down but that’s because the technology has improved.' (Introduction)

1 y separately published work icon Perth : A Guide for the Curious Terri-Ann White (editor), Crawley : UWA Publishing , 2016 9232165 2016 anthology prose essay travel

'Where do you find a city's soul? Where is its pulse, its personality? When we walk across the skin of a city, do we listen for its laugh?

'Terri-ann White draws together an eclectic group of Perth people in this collection to share their insights on a rapidly evolving city. From an architect's perspective on heritage to a historian's ruminations on Perth's swampy origins; from a walk down streets that don't exist to Noongar place names; from the union movement to public art to criminal Perth to conversational Perth, this book encourages new encounters with the city.

'Perth: a guide for the curious traverses social, cultural and political spaces as the reader traverses the streets, kindling a sense of curiosity about a city by unearthing buried treasure.' (Publication summary)
1 2 y separately published work icon Desert Writing : Stories from Country Terri-Ann White (editor), Crawley : UWA Publishing , 2016 9187778 2016 anthology single work prose autobiography interview

'In September 2013 just before the weather turned even more intense a group of intrepid writers made their way to three Australian desert settings to work with groups and individuals wishing to write. Both Aboriginal people with a profound connection to country and residents of more recent arrival who had made the choice to live in remote places participated in workshops. You’ll read new voices and hear perspectives on living in extreme geographical and climactic regions in today’s Australia. In the variety presented here we welcome you into the vitality of remote communities often isolated but full of commitment and hope for the future.' (Publication summary)

1 Calcutta : A View from the Street Terri-Ann White , 2015 single work autobiography
— Appears in: Griffith Review , no. 47 2015; (p. 281-287)

'I'm perched ON the western edge of Australia, looking out on the buoyant and impressive Indian Ocean. The vista, if I turn back towards my city, continues to be dominated by cranes. A city transformed by capital and mining; a population that has grown faster than we've ever seen. From the time this place was a colony, population has been a struggle and particularly during the cycles of our boom times. If I put on my long-distance goggles and look north, I'd see the mining capital laid out in all of its exploration logic, and the waste left after the extraction has taken place. Laid out all over that red earth.' (Publication abstract)

— Appears in: Coolabah , no. 3 2009; (p. 3-9) 'This is an unorthodox presentation, but one I hope that goes to the heart of some of the larger myths of contemporary Australia and the appeal still found in its pioneering spirit. It was inspired, after reading Joan London's new novel The Good Parents and thinking back to my own experiences of country towns in Australia, and my recent encounters with towns in transition.'
