Kanawinka Writers and Historians have already published a number of books about the region, including the very successful Celebration South East Series and are currently working on the publication of several historical resource documents as well as a Chronology of the South East in printed and data base form. In 1994 SEBP initiated the Biennial National Community History Awards, which are presented at the State History Conference.

Experienced members of the group provide writers with editorial assistance and have been involved in editing publications for Tourism South East. They also help with advice on publishing and undertake commissioned writing and recently held a successful workshop on Book Design with Michael Bolan of Wakefield Press as principal speaker.
SEBP was the inaugural winner of the ABC Regional Development Award.
