New Zealand Book Month 2007

NZ Book Month is a non-profit initiative that has the whole book industry behind it, from writers and publishers to bookshops and libraries. Quite simply, the idea is to get more of us reading New Zealand books.

Man Booker Shortlist announced
The shortlist for the Man Booker has been announced and we heartily congratulate Lloyd Jones, and Mr Pip, which has, according to Amazon, seen the biggest Booker-driven sales boost from all the books on the 13-strong longlist.

Niu Voices The literature of New Zealand rarely reflects the amazing, strong and vibrant culture of the Pacific. The Creative New Zealand Pacific Arts Committee took the initiative in 2003 of organising a number of creative writing workshops for new Pacific writers. They published the best of this writing in First Draft. Building on this and other initiatives, Huia Publishers in partnership with the Pacific Arts Committee present this anthology of new writing from emerging and established Pacific writers.
