Apply for Premier New Zealand Bestseller Accreditation
Books become Premier New Zealand Bestsellers when they achieve outstanding sales within New Zealand. Top-selling New Zealand books are recognised with accreditation to four levels of success: platinum, gold, silver and bronze.
Premier New Zealand Bestsellers are administered by Booksellers New Zealand. Books submitted by publishers for accreditation must be published primarily for the local market. The total sales within New Zealand for each book, across all editions, are verified and, once confirmed, the book becomes an officially accredited Premier New Zealand Bestseller. Only accredited Premier New Zealand Bestsellers can wear the official platinum, gold, silver and bronze seals.
To earn accreditation, a title must achieve the following life sales for its category:
| Premier Level | Fiction Life Sales | Poetry Life Sales | Non-fiction Life Sales |
Children’s & Teens' Life Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bronze | 5,000 | 1,000 | 10,000 | 7,000 |
| Silver | 10,000 | 2,000 | 20,000 | 15,000 |
| Gold | 20,000 | 3,000 | 50,000 | 20,000 |
| Platinum | 50,000 | 5,000 | 100,000 | 40,000 |
Publishers, apply for accreditation by downloading and completing the application forms below.
In addition to the application form, we need two copies of your title, and a verified record of your life sales. The cost for accreditation is $200+gst. Once your accreditation has been approved, we will send you 1000 stickers to identify your books.
Complete the checklist on the front page, and send your application in to us.
