publisher of learner's guides?

[Felicity Meakins]

I would also suggest Batchelor Press. I don't know about Learner's Guides
but they do require a subsidy for dictionaries. But it is local, indigenous
and they have some distribution as well as communities in mind.

The MILR funding round is coming up which could be a good place to get some
publication funding from for something like this
