APPLY FOR MEMBERSHIP
Coalition Members are invaluable stakeholders working ultimately for the benefit of the literary sector; providing support through a sharing of knowledge and experience, and the forming of a unifying strong voice.
We welcome applications from organisations, companies, incorporated societies and individuals in the literary sector
The membership subscription cost is tiered based on the income of your organisation and whether it has paying members.
Study the options carefully to know what sort of membership is right for you.
MEMBERSHIP Organisations – an organisation with paying members, (eg. the New Zealand Society of Authors, or the Publishers Association of New Zealand)
NON-MEMBERSHIP Organisations – a stand-alone organisation (i.e. do not have paying members of your own).
All applications are subject to approval by the Coalition for Books’ Board
