PORT MORESBY - Writings about Papua New Guinea and books by Papua New Guinean authors are multiplying but scattered all across the country.
There has never been a central reservoir of information about them. And there should be.
Most of these books are self-published by the authors, sometimes assisted by experienced people like Francis Nii and Jordan Dean, and produced using the Amazon hard copy and Kindle Direct Publishing ebook platforms.
Libraries For All has helped several authors including Caroline Evari while others like Ms Solien does her own publishing. I am also doing my own. A few others are engaged with commercial publishing companies.
But we do need a central information data place to list all these books. I’ve made a rough start at a catalogue which you can download here.
Not mentioned? So how about you get your title and name on the list? Just email me here with a short description and cover shot of the book.
And include this information:
Book title
Author
Category of book (see my note at the end of the catalogue)
Year published
Number of pages
Publisher
