The Coalition for Books is kaitiaki (guardian) of Aotearoa New Zealand’s literary landscape overseeing wider engagement and access for readers with the diverse range of high quality locally produced books.

The Coalition for Books breaks new ground uniting authors, publishers, booksellers and festivals in the telling of Aotearoa New Zealand’s story. Together the members of this national organisation join forces creating the country’s first Story Precinct and show the intrinsic value of reading Aotearoa New Zealand made books.
