Kia ora and warm Pasifika greetings.

I’m South Auckland-based writer and teacher David Riley, aka the Reading Warrior. My goal is to inspire young people with positive, inspirational stories from Aotearoa New Zealand and Oceania, and to encourage them to write and publish their own stories.

Check out my books, see what I’ve been up to, or read my thoughts about education, reading, and life in my blog.

Teachers: The workshops page describes things I could do with your students and staff, or email me and let’s plan something together. Some of the best ideas come from just having a talk and trying something new!

Ngā mihi māhana (warmest greetings to you).

David
