Parallel

Like other bookstores, at Parallel we love pukapuka (books) Unlike other bookstores, we’re not just about the books. Because it’s the people that make books great—the creatives and authors, the fans, and readers. We champion the voices of underdogs, innovators, and gamechangers. We uplift LGBTQIA+ / Queer, neurodivergent, Indigenous, disabled, and Aotearoa New Zealand voices that have too long gone unnoticed and unheard. And we create spaces where outsiders, in-betweeners, and people of all kinds can feel comfortable and safe to explore, discover, and play. We mahi (work) to make sure that the spaces where we connect as a community are safe, inclusive, accessible, and welcoming for all. Whether you’re totally new to speculative literature—or deeply entrenched in a niche fandom—we can help you discover new worlds, new voices, and new ideas. And find wonder, hope, joy, and connection.
