This keynote speech was delivered by Professor Sunny Singh FRSL at the Educating Susan: Decolonisation and Inclusivity in Creative Writing Pedagogy and Publishing conference, held at City, University of London, in September 2024. Curated by Dr Deepa Anappara and Farhana Shaikh, this one-day, in-person event brought together writers, academics, researchers, and publishing professionals who spoke about their approaches to decolonisation within creative writing and the broader literary and publishing industry. Singh’s speech drew upon her decades-long work within academia, writing, and the publishing industry. It called for a dismantling of existing creative writing and publishing practices by questioning what we are taught about writing, storytelling, and approaches that favour certain modes of storytelling, while marginalising others. Most importantly, it reminded
us that decolonisation is not a fixed point, but instead, an ongoing, ever-changing process — one that demands constant reflection and a willingness to challenge and reshape the systems that define our creative and cultural
landscapes.
