The Gift of Words
Here's Corry van Hattum at 89 years old as a newly-published author. She had written various short stories over the years and they were quietly gathered together by her daughter and secretly made into a book by PublishMe as a Christmas present. What a great idea! If you have a relative in a similar position, has maybe written something he or she hasn't the patience to publish, why not take away the pain and do it for them? We can get old typed or handwritten manuscripts into a printable format, as was the case here, so all you'd have to do is to get the pages to us. If you're in New Plymouth, we could even pick them up from you.
Don't wait until your relative has passed on to publish their book - let them experience the joy of holding it in their hands. Get in touch today and we can discuss the next steps. You can reach us at www.publishme.co.nz... or email lel@businesswritingservices.co.nz or giles@businesswritingservices.co.nz or phone on (06) 7530021. Chat soon! Lel Scott.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
