I am an experienced book reviewer and publicist in te ao pukapuka (the NZ publishing industry, book trade, literary circles & media). Come and learn how to get your pukapuka (book) reviewed!

In this practical workshop we will cover:
- the basic principles of working out where to pitch your pukapuka
- the details of how book reviewing works in NZ mainstream media (including an up-to-date contact list)
- how to approach journalists, editors and producers in a professional and effective manner

This workshop is suitable for kaituhi (authors) at all career stages, and for those doing or considering self-publishing. You don't have to have already written or published a pukapuka. No prior experience necessary. Paper handouts will be provided. Please bring something to take your own notes with.
