This Christmas, make one of your gifts a book by a NZ writer, published by a NZ publisher, bought from a NZ book shop. #NZChristmasBookChallenge
We are promoting a ‘BUY NZ Books’ campaign for Christmas.
With the tight economics of book publishing in NZ and the reduced retail visibility of books, we know that if we all buy one book this Christmas…
- by a New Zealand author
- published by a New Zealand publisher
- from a New Zealand bookshop
… as a gift or for ourselves, it will boost our literary arts sector.
The Indie publishers recently showcased the wealth of quality books being published this year by independent presses and international publishing houses still have a vibrant NZ publishing programme.
It is in our collective interest to support and nurture our publishing and writing culture… so please, Buy a New Zealand Book!
We will promote the campaign through our colleagues around the industry, so please help spread the word to Buy Local.

The #Read to Succeed campaign was launched on Monday Nov 20 by The New Zealand Book Council.
A fantastic campaign with celebrity endorsement, that highlights the importance of reading in our lives. We achieve more, learn more, we develop empathy from our reading as children and yet their research shows 400,000 NZ’ers had not read a book in the last year. Time to lift our game and focus on reading!
