	Kondo, Riena W., and Leah B. Walter. 1990. "Training indigenous editors." Notes on Literacy.

Summary
	States there are many mother tongue writers in Colombia. Some writers are very creative and a few already wrote fairly large books. Many short courses helped them perfect their skills. In the end, the linguists usually do final corrections of
	spelling punctuation diacritics, and word division.
	Who will do this after the linguists leave? Certainly not Spanish-speaking publishers who do not know the mother tongue languages. Is it SIL's responsibility to help provide for the continuing production of books in the communities where members work?
