Learning Media publishes Cook Islands Māori, Niuean, Sāmoan, Tokelauan, and Tongan resources for the New Zealand Ministry of Education in the Tupu series. The series currently consists of over 500 resources, with more than 30 more added every year. Most are full colour books for students. Others are CDs and teachers’ notes.
The Ministry of Education wants the series to complement the other Pacific Islands language resources it publishes for New Zealand early childhood centres and schools, such as the Sāmoan journal, Fōlauga - and to support curriculum statements for Pacific languages, Developing Programmes for Teaching Pacific Islands Languages, and the guidelines for teaching Pacific languages.
Like other Ministry of Education series published in Māori and English, the Tupu series offers students a range of genres - fiction, non–fiction, poetry, and short plays - at different curriculum levels. The contents include a mix of material set within Pacific Islands communities in New Zealand and elsewhere in the Pacific. This offers a lot of scope for writers - there’s a need for material at lots of different interest levels (from early childhood right through to senior secondary) in a wide range of genres and settings.
If possible, please offer us your material in both a Pacific language and English – because the CDs and teachers’ notes include English versions. Emeli Aholelei (series editor) and Lino Nelisi (contributing editor) edit the series. Toline Filo is the project assistant.
We are interested in seeing portfolios of work from Pacific illustrators and photographers. The art editor for the series is Liz Tui Morris. Please help spread the word, as we need to commission high quality illustrations for the series.
We also welcome audition cassettes from musicians and actors for the music and voices on the Tupu CDs. The audio producer for the series is Janice Marriott.
For all freelance contributions that are accepted, we secure a first publication right and a first option to publish. By granting us first publication rights, you retain the copyright in the material, but you may not sell it in any form for publication elsewhere, in New Zealand or overseas, until it has appeared in Tupu.
By granting us a first option to publish LML is able to republish the work subject to the payment of an additional fee, in any one of several ways - for example, to record the work, translate into Màori or English, or in another of our publications. Accordingly, if you wish to sell the work elsewhere after it has appeared in Tupu, you will need to inform us of the fact.
