NIFTY PIECE OF PUBLICITY PUBLISHING FROM PENGUIN NZ
New Women's Writing - this beautifully designed little 24 page number arrived in my mail yesterday. It is soon to be released as an inclusion with the October issue of NEXT magazine. Look out for it.
It contains excerpts from four new titles by four Penguin NZ women writers:
Ribbons of Grace - Maxine Alterio
Edwin & Matilda - Laurence Fearnley
She'll be Right - Rachel Goodchild
The Blue - Mary McCallum
And while I'm talking about Penguin Books do check out their new website, most attractive - http://www.penguin.co.nz/
Go to the bottom right hand corner of the home page and click on Flick the Little Fire Engine to hear the original recording that my kids used to listen to years ago on the radio on Sunday mornings.
