A
pair of book lovers have teamed up with the aim of creating NZBooklovers.co.nz, which they believe
will be New Zealand’s biggest website dedicated solely to books and reading.
Between
them, JJ McConnachie and Emma Codd read over 200 books a year, and both have a
keen interest in the online book world. Both have reviewed books for a number
of websites, and Mrs McConnachie has worked on a number of online book-related
projects.
Mrs
McConnachie, a website content manager by trade, says, “We want to create
a website for other New Zealand book lovers, not only to showcase both New
Zealand and international titles, but also to share author interviews, reviews,
competitions, reading and writing advice.
“The
book publishing industry is changing fast overseas, with e-books taking off,
and we want to be there online, as New Zealand begins to follow the digital
book revolution that is happening right now.”
Mrs
McConnachie and Ms Codd have the ability to create the website, but need a
little help to fund the basics of the build, and the two have started a
crowdfunding project to finance their effort.
Fellow
book lovers can help bring NZ Booklovers to life, by making a pledge at https://www.pledgeme.co.nz/Crowd/Details/1534.
