NZ Society of Authors Wellington Branch Guest Speakers


Stephen Minchin of Steam Press will speak about establishing his Wellington based publishing company at the New Zealand Society of Authors Wellington Branch meeting on Monday, 22 April.
Minchin says he believes that New Zealand’s authors of speculative fiction should not have to send their work offshore to have any hope of seeing it in print. He wants to read locally written titles that make him sit up all night with a stupid grin on his face and then forget to get off the train the next morning.

Fellow guest speakers are Lisa Buchanan (CEO) and Katie Sherriff (Sales and Marketing) of Vangelizer, an independent New Zealand owned company which provides publishers and self-published authors with the tools to promote their books online and track results from social media. They will offer tips to authors on using social marketing to publicize their books.

Cost: NZSA members, $3. Non-members, $5. Venue: Thistle Inn, Mulgrave Street, Thorndon, Monday, 22 April, from 7.30pm.
