The New Zeland Herald looks at small but fiercely competitive New Zealand book market.
It is so small that most books will have a print run of only about 3000, earning around $5000 for their authors and making it impossible for most to make a living from writing.
Of the 114 entries in the New Zealand Post Book Awards for Children and Young Adults this year, 31 were in the non-fiction category, 40 in the picture book section, 28 in junior fiction and 15 in the young adult category.
