Out-of-house technology gremlins struck our system over the long weekend. If you have sent us an email since Saturday morning Oct 22  it will be alongside many others in a big black hole. We have been working hard to reinstate our Internet connection since early Tuesday . . . complicated things those systems!

We may be able to retrieve your emails but to be sure please re-send your emails, orders and files and we’ll act swiftly on those.

Sincere apologies from

Do you wish you’d asked your parents more about their lives?

Or wish you could remember some of those great family stories?

Make this the year you write your family history or memoirs. Leave your recollections of your own life, or your family history as a legacy for future generations.

 Do it well and without stress – you’ll get help every step of the way from your support crew at PublishMe.

 Join us at either of these free seminars. No need to register, just turn up.

 When: Tuesday, September 20, 2-3pm or at 7-8pm

 Where: BNZ Partners Business Centre, 13-15 Devon St East, New Plymouth

Upstairs via the staircase to the left of the new BNZ store premises. Lift access is available for the afternoon session only.

 What:   An info-packed hour where you will learn good tips and strategies for writing, structuring, photos, layout, design and printing,  examples of costs . . . and the help you may need along the way. With modern digital printing you can have your writing turned into just one book, or hundreds.

 While the important thing is to start recording those special stories and milestones, it helps to talk to us early in your writing project – our advice can save you time, money and energy!

 Don’t let your precious family history die . . . take action before it’s too late.
