Pacific Islander writers Kealani Netane, Keala Kendall, and Dr. Manuia Heinrich are launching Pacific Islanders in Publishing, a volunteer-run website database that promotes Pacific Islanders’ books. The website includes resources for creatives looking to break into publishing, recent Pacific Islander book releases, book influencers, independent presses, and bookstores.

The cofounders’ mission is to amplify, connect and support voices from Oceania, and address the need for more Pacific Islander stories. Visit us at www.pacificislanderbooks.org.
