As of November 2018, there is a hiatus on new member applications. If you are interested in joining, please send us an email with your contact information, and we will contact you once the process resumes. 

Despite the hold on new member applications, the association remains committed to the Ka Palapala Pookela Awards, and all prospective members are encouraged to submit their entries and attend the ceremony. This is a great way to network with existing members and get the latest news on what is happening with regional book publishing. 

Thank you for your patience and interest in the association.
