Read NZ Te Pou Muramura helps grow generations of readers by advocating for reading in Aotearoa New Zealand and delivering programmes that incentivise reading and writing in schools and communities.
We run the long-standing Writers in Schools programme which connects youth around the country with Aotearoa writers and illustrators to engage them in storytelling and show that if you can see it, you can be it. We also run NZ Children's Book Week, and the Writers Files which is NZ’s largest index of authors and creatives, filterable to make it easier to find writers who represent diverse and expansive communities and genres.
