New Zealand book lovers have a new online home
New Zealand book lovers have a new online home
It’s Valentine’s Day, and love is in the
air… for New Zealand book lovers. NZBooklovers.co.nz, a website dedicated
to both New Zealand and international literature, has
launched today, providing book reviews, author interviews,
news, articles, and competitions to book lovers around the
country.
NZ Booklovers is run by JJ McConnachie and
Emma Codd, who set up a successful Pledge Me campaign to get
the funds to set up the website. Both come from a writing
background, and have been regular book reviewers. Mrs
McConnachie is a website content manager, and has built the
website with the help of the Pledge Me funds.
Miss
Codd says, “There has been a great need, for some time
now, for a website dedicated to book lovers in New
Zealanders. There are plenty of book blogs, and numerous
book retail sites, but no website providing a comprehensive
overview of the world of literature.
“NZ Booklovers
is a platform to showcase both New Zealand and international
titles and authors. It will feature book news, reviews, and
author interviews, as well as other book-related
information, reading and writing advice, and competitions.
“Everyone involved in NZ Booklovers has one thing in common: we are passionate about reading and literature. This website is our way of sharing that passion with the world, providing some literary inspiration and an online book hub for all New Zealanders.”
Staffed by
a team of fellow bibliophiles, NZBooklovers.co.nz is a bookworm’s
hub, dedicated to bringing New Zealanders everything they
need to know about reading and the world of literature, and
to making this information accessible to
everyone.
