If you don’t see yourself reflected in stories, you can’t imagine you can make any difference in the world.

- SANDRA CISNEROS

Holding the mirror up is part of what makes reading and writing so vital. We are truly excited to be bringing writers to Pōneke from Aotearoa and around the world to reflect, celebrate, and question all things books. The events we have woven together hold a multitude of stories, characters and ideas and we know that as adventurous readers you will be inspired by what will take place over the three days, we are together.

We invite you to make the Embassy Theatre your own.

Let’s build a world of words, expansive conversation, and revel in the joy of meeting friends and strangers.

E ahu atu ana tātou ki tētehi ao rerekē atu anō, he aha hoki ngā pukapuka pai ka puta i tēnei tū āhuaranga?

Māku e kī atu, he nui, he nui, he nui. Tē tāea te whakakaupapa i te hōtaka nei, i te mea e kī katoa ana ki ngā pūkenga maha o te ao, ngā tino kaituhituhi o Aotearoa, me te ao whānui anō hoki. Ngā tini āhuatanga katoa o te tangata, o te rangi o te whenua o te moana, ka kitea, ka rangona, ki konei, ki te hōtaka tuhituhi.
