INTRODUCING NEW ZEALAND PUBLISHING IN 2011 - RESIDENTIAL TRAINING FORUM ANNOUNCED FOR 11 & 12 MARCH
Pitched squarely at the newer entrants, through to middle management positions - this March will see a welcome return to the much-enjoyed PANZ residential training forum which will be held in Auckland.
Participants can expect a full programme delivered by industry experts from across publishing, as well as a the opportunity to experience first-hand the process and excitement of publishing their own books. In addition to excellent networking opportunities, all should come away feeling challenged, more knowledgeable and invigorated about the exciting industry that they are a part of.
Full details, including application form and a course programme will be available early next week. Applications close on February 18th.

TRAINING FUND ANNOUNCEMENT
PANZ is delighted to announce the establishment of a Training Fund to which all members will be eligible to apply. With generous support and sponsorship from CLL, relevant training courses both at home and abroad, will now be accessible to successful applicants.
This is a significant development within the organisation and one which PANZ Council hopes will be recognised as major benefit for the organisation's membership.
Full details will shortly be available on the PANZ website, including an application form for download. There will be two rounds of applications annually - the first of which will close on Friday, 4th March.

Great for PANZ members, but when will training grants be available for freelancers? We support the publishing industry and publishers rely on us up-skilling ourselves.
I have just published a children's book
Orca,the Stranded Whale written by Alex Gordon from Waipu when he was 7. This is the first book I have published since completing the Diploma in Publishing. The book is selling well but a course like this would help. I pressume I have to be a member of PANZ to apply to attend.
