We have over 45 years of experience as teachers and publishers of books for PNG. Our work takes us to every Province in the country. This has enabled us to build a team of consultants, advisors, reviewers, writers, illustrators and friends throughout PNG.
Our books are written by experienced authors and teachers, many of whom are based in Papua New Guinea. Bilum Books encourages local authors and illustrators and provides opportunities for their professional development.
