The NZ Book Council has just published its 2019 annual lecture on its website.  This year the talk was by Lani Wendt Young, a leading Pasifika writer for young people.  The talk is entitled, “Stories from the Wild: Reading and Writing in the Digital Age.”  In it, the author describes her experiences as an independent publisher as well as writer, and her sense of future possibilities.  Highly recommended.

And feel free to check out the previous annual lectures by some of NZ’s leading writers.  They are all of interest and highly readable.
