Penguin Group (NZ) Authors Take Home Major Awards
Penguin NZ won two 2009 Montana Book Awards:
Ladies, A Plate: Traditional Home Baking by Alexa Johnston won the Lifestyle & Contemporary Culture category.
He Pātaka Kupu te kai a te rangatira, the first-ever dictionary written entirely in te reo Māori, won the Maori Language award.
The winners of the country's most prestigious awards for contemporary writing were chosen from more than 220 books submitted for the 2009 awards.
At the Booksellers New Zealand Industry Awards, Penguin Group NZ won the highly coveted award for Sales and Promotional Support. This award has eluded us for the past six years, when we have historically been in the runner up position. We were also delighted when our sales reps Rachel Cooper and Louise Crisp took out the awards for North Island Sales Rep of the Year and South Island Sales Rep of the Year respectively.
