About Us
Booksellers New Zealand fosters a strong, efficient and professional book industry. We represent over 90% of New Zealand book publishers and booksellers.
A key focus of Booksellers New Zealand is book promotion, increasing the sales of books. We manage New Zealand's book awards, recognising excellence in writing and publishing; organise exciting nationwide events, promoting the enjoyment and importance of reading books; and actively develop opportunities for exposing books through television, radio and the print media.
Our diverse membership services range from those assisting with business operating costs, through to those increasing industry knowledge and professionalism. We offer advice and industry information, generate opportunities for debating industry issues, lobby Government and have a key role in ensuring industry awareness and visibility. We work closely with other arts sector groups and book organisations, the media and sponsors.
These membership services ensure members gain value far outweighing the cost of their membership. Becoming a member is easy.
Booksellers Tokens are New Zealand's only book token redeemable nationwide at all bookseller members. Booksellers Tokens are a secure industry backed gift voucher managed by Book Tokens (NZ) Ltd, a subsidiary company of Booksellers New Zealand.
Booksellers New Zealand (Inc) and Book Tokens (NZ) Ltd are lead by two boards of directors.
