Auckland – 7
February 2012 – It’s the final call for entries in the annual AA Directions
New Travel Writer of the Year Award. The deadline is this Friday 10
February. The prize for the winner is $1,000.
Bonnie Etherington won the 2011 AA Directions New Travel
Writer of the Year award.
“I entered the AA Directions New Travel Writer of the Year
competition at the last minute on a whim after stumbling across an ad for it
through the Massey University website. Writing can be such an isolated,
uncertain activity, and winning this award was just the encouragement I needed
to make me think ‘Hey, maybe I can have a future in writing after all.’ The
awards Gala Dinner was a lot of fun and it was great to connect with so many
inspiring travel writers, editors and photographers, who I wouldn’t have had
the opportunity to meet otherwise. This award has given a real boost to my
writing career and I am so thankful for that and the fact that I bit the bullet
and entered!”
The AA Directions Magazine New Travel Writer of the Year
award encourages writers who have never previously had a travel article
published. Entries are judged by a well-known New Zealand writer, publisher or
editor – who will present the award at a gala dinner held at the Heritage Hotel
Grand Tearoom on Tuesday, 20 March 2012
