More than 60 New Zealand authors and 100 performers will be in Germany showcasing Kiwi artistic talents leading up to and during October’s Frankfurt Book Fair where New Zealand is this year’s Guest of Honour.
“New Zealand has been attending the Frankfurt Book Fair for more than 20 years but Guest of Honour status this year has increased our German sales by at least 600 percent. This is a standout year in New Zealand publishing history and is a fantastic platform for a country of just over 4 million people. Doors have opened for New Zealand writers and this is our big moment to shine the light on the enormous wealth of talent coming out of such a small country” says Kevin Chapman, president of the Publishers Association of New Zealand (PANZ).
