their lists and two others will be displayed on the New Zealand stand at the
exhibition which begins today, 5 February, and runs until 10 February.Sam Elworthy will represent Auckland University Press and will take part in a Digital Forum on 6 February with an address titled The World and the Island: Diving into Digital from New Zealand. Robert Andersen is there for Wendy Pye Publishing, and Julia Marshall for Gecko Press. Peter Dowling of Oratia Media, at Taipei for the first time, says that as with the Frankfurt GoH year, there will never be a better time to establish the imprint in East Asia than over this year and 2015.
Translated editions of two of David Ling Publishing’s titles will be launched at TIBE following their rights sale for Taiwan and China, Voices of Gallipoli by Maurice Shadbolt and In Flanders Fields by Monty Ingram. David will be there for the launch and to give a talk about the effects of World War 1 on New Zealand.

Claire Murdoch Joins Council
Te Papa Press publisher Claire Murdoch has joined PANZ Council following Robyn Bargh’s retirement. She takes up a new portfolio called Communications and Networking responsible for the following:
- Member communications
- Networking, local and national
- Publicity and news stories for
general media.
Claire says she can’t wait to get involved in
her new role. “Publishing is full of communicators and networkers, and I’m looking
forward to talking to association members about their ideas and getting their
input on these areas, and their own needs.
“PANZ and publishing are currently in a good and exciting place and we need to let a wider audience know this – as well as communicate confidently about the challenges of the changing business of publishing in these ‘interesting times’,” she said.
PANZ President Sam Elworthy is pleased to have another great Wellington independent publisher on Council. “Claire brings great publishing experience and networking, not only here but also internationally.”
