kia ora koutou,
This is our July update for members of SpecFicNZ.
First of all an apology to anyone who has noticed issues with the website over the last week or two. This was due to server issues, which we now believe are resolved. If you do identify any issues with the website in the meantime - please let us know by emailing - web@specfic.nz
Next and still on the subject of the website, here is a message from Core member Kura Carpenter:
Hello,
I’m reaching out on behalf of SpecficNZ to try and start a publishing schedule for the SpecficNZ members blog.
If you could please reply via dunedin@specfic.nz,
answer Yes or No to each question, I’ll be in touch to follow up asap.
Would you be willing to:
1) Provide a review (book/film/event)
2) Be interviewed
3) Provide details regarding a publication release or other launch
4) Other – please supply info.
I'm open to anything that people want to provide, I see it really as a great opportunity for self-promotion. I want to make the blog work for you as a SpecficNZ member!
kind regards
Kura Carpenter
