Upstart Press celebrates Christmas and announces 2014 list

Kevin Chapman (left)  welcomed 100 or so guests to the roof garden of Chancery Chambers in central Auckland last evening,
and said that although Upstart had only been in existence for two months, the 2014 programme was well under way. They were looking to do 15-20 books per year in a general trade programme.

Highlights of the 2014 list he announced included:

Children’s -  two Buzzy Bee titles by Joy Cowley and a new Donovan Bixley picture book,


Non-fiction – Robbie Deans autobiography
                         The very last Footrot Flats title
                         Michael Cooper’s Wine Guide
                         A Tui title written by James Griffin
                         Phil Gifford memoirs, featuring Loosehead Len,

Fiction  - The next Ihaka crime novel from Paul Thomas, who has just won the Dame Ngiao Marsh Award, and a new Paddy Richardson, not a genre novel, but general women’s fiction.

Kevin then thanked the guests for "all the support they had given him and his colleague Warren Adler over the years, hoping that the support, and the party, would continue for years to come".
