Story

Writers Plot: A unique independent bookshop for Indie publishers, authors, and discerning readers.

Check out our new website - http://writersplot.org.nz/

We are a not for profit incorporated society running a bookshop in Upper Hutt. It will be a proper book shop, run by volunteers (readers and writers) and can recommend books. There are very few independent bookshops left in the Wellington region and this one will specialise in NZ authors (by birth or by choice).

We're focusing on medium and small press good quality books, fiction, non-fiction, children's - everything, no matter where they are published in the world. Books that are otherwise fairly difficult to access here in New Zealand.

Part of our goal is to provide an outlet for kiwi authors who can't otherwise get their books in shops because we believe supporting home grown talent is vital.

But Writer's Plot Reader's Read isn't just a book shop ...

• The shop will be a venue for book launches/poetry nights/book club meet-ups/writing groups/storytelling
• Writer’s can rent a desk during (business hours) for hours, days, or a week at a time.
• Courses & workshops on writing, editing, getting published and much more will be run from the shop.

• The ability to order books not easily found in NZ is part of our shop, we’re also happy to order books for people who aren’t comfortable with ordering books online.
