How to self-publish your book the easy way...
Have you written a book? It may be a family history, a novel, a how-to, or perhaps a business book. Whatever the subject matter, you may not know how simple and inexpensive self-publishing can be today. At PublishMe, we can proofread and/or edit your manuscript, we can create a cover design and do the text layout for you, and then we can print and bind your work into as many - or as few - copies as you need. We also have a typing/transcription service for handwritten or recorded material. On top of all that, we're local, so you can easily set up a meeting with our client account manager, Giles, at a place of your choosing to discuss your requirements. For more information on how we work, visit www.publishme.co.nz...... and we'll be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
