Zui: Publishing for Museums – Bringing Your Stories to Life - Part One

Are you a museum or gallery curious about turning your stories into print?

This two-part Zoom hui series is designed to introduce smaller organisations to the possibilities of publishing—whether you're looking to share illustrated storytelling, research, or community voices.

Led by the team at Te Papa Press, Aotearoa’s unique museum publisher, alongside independent organisations who’ve successfully self-published, this series will guide you through the publishing landscape and process.

Part One: Understanding the Aotearoa Publishing Landscape

Explore the publishing options available in Aotearoa, including:

• Self-publishing vs traditional publishing

• Local vs overseas printing (digital/offset)

• Small print runs and choosing the right format.

This session is ideal for those wondering where to start and what’s possible. No prior publishing experience required. Attendees are encouraged to send in questions or examples of projects they’re considering in advance.
