Thanks to everyone who came along (see below) to last years Silicon Welly Xmas party on the Wellesley, was a really good night lovely to share it with you all! Since we had the Made From New Zealand film crew around, we made this quick video, sorry we didn’t quite get around everyone before the battery ran out on the night.

Bookhabit
Bookhabit is a Wellington start-up disrupting the world of publishing!
The Bookhabit website aims to foster our love of books and support the creative process.
Bookhabit provides a forum for interaction among the dynamic community of readers and writers.
For readers, Bookhabit offers new and different experiences. The world of unpublished writing is vastly larger and richer than that of the published. The publishers mine it to find their gems, but it is also a world that readers can now mine online. They may find the next bestseller, the obscure and unexpected, the new style or flavour, the new subject. In this online world you can research passions, and access books on topics that are too niche-specific for mainstream publication.
Bookhabit helps writers get noticed. Bookhabit promotes authors to a world without borders, using the internet and capitalising on new technology - in the same way that the internet has removed many obstacles to publication in the music industry, writers can now access an infinite audience. It is far more efficient and powerful to aggregate and promote books in one place - 1000 books on Bookhabit attract far more traffic than 1000 authors creating their own websites. Bookhabit uses search engine optimisation and online marketing techniques to enhance the visibility of a writer’s book on the internet, and helps the writer promote it to the many eager readers searching for a new treasure.
