In 1991, the Queensland Government accepted and implemented a new framework for funding and developing the Arts. The Queensland: A State for the Arts Report makes specific recommendations about developing writing and publishing in the State. This thesis critiques the setting and achievement of the original recommendations. It argues for a long-term development plan for the future development of writing to address the primitive level of development in the Queensland sector and the uncoordinated interventions of the three levels of government to support the development of writing and publishing.
