AWA PRESS

Last Saturday I posted publisher Mary Varnham's inspiring introduction to Awa Press' new catalogue being rushed through for the London Book Fair next week.

Now Awa Press production manager Sarah Bennett has sent me the cover image of their "forthcoming (utterly gorgeous, remarkably impressive) catalogue, which I have press-passed this morning. It will arrive 3 seconds before Mary boards the plane for London.
Thanks for thinking of us. We are doing our best to excel and work only harder still when we know someone is actually watching us".

If anyone would like a copy/copies of the new catalogue then contact:

Anne deLautour, Director of BPANZ advises that the following 14 members are attending the London Book Fair this year:

Hachette Livre NZ
Penguin
Pearson NZ
Te Papa Press
Annabel Langbein
Worthy of Publishing
Random House
Awa Press
Cape Catley
Phantom Publishing
Silverbound Publishing
Saint Publishing
MJA Publishing
Forbes Foundation

Best wishes to them all as they attempt to sell foreign language and other rights of their New Zealand titles. Having attended the Bologna Book Fair many times in the past, and the Frankfurt & London Book Fairs occasionally, I know only too well the enormous amount of time and preparation under great pressure that goes into readying oneself for these Fairs. Travel well.
