Flickerwell was founded to publish the world’s finest ebooks, offering new editions of old classics, hand-crafted for digital devices. Within a year of launch, we expanded to offer select ebooks from contemporary authors.

We also publish Dead Poets Daily — a free poem-a-day email service with no commentary and no ads, just poems from the greats.

In 2024, we launched the New Zealand Style Guide — a professional resource that suggests standards for the design, formatting, and writing of documents in New Zealand English.
