The Aotearoa New Zealand Review of Books publishes long-form reviews of new local fiction, nonfiction and poetry. We’re a platform for timely, in-depth discussions of contemporary literature and culture, featuring established and emerging reviewers from the South Pacific.
The site was launched in 2023 with seed funding from the Faculty of Arts at the University of Auckland. This funding also supported a series of review webinars and mentorships, designed to develop informed new voices in local book reviewing.
