What we’re about
Welcome to Novel Ideas, a community of authors and aspiring writers. We come together to meet other writers, share ideas, learn about the book journey and support each other.
Whether you're struggling with writing, a seasoned writer, or a first-time author looking for guidance come and join us!
Over the coming year we have invited a presenter to talk about each step in the publishing journey: meet a published author, editing + proofreading, layout and cover design, marketing and promotion and finally, printing your book!
Join us for this fun, easy going bimonthly meetup, learn valuable book publishing information and connect with like-minded individuals to help take your writing to the next level.

Book layout & Cover Design
Protocol, 2 Colombo Street, Cashmere, Christchurch, NZHave you ever read a book that just felt effortless, or been so drawn to a book cover that you almost didn’t need to read the blurb? Great page layout and strong evocative cover design make a huge difference to your readers experience, which can be as vital as the story line or content.
Margot will be leading this Novel Ideas session together with Grant Mangin. Margot and Grant are seasoned professionals in the design and marketing space. They have both published multiple books and supported other authors to self-publish.
Come along and learn the aspects which make a page layout work, and those that don't! Find out how to draw someone to choose your book, initially, simply because of the cover.
