Creative New Zealand is calling for applications from established New
Zealand writers for the Creative New Zealand Michael King Writers’ Fellowship,
valued at $100,000. The Fellowship was offered for the first time in 2003, and

Barrowman, Neville Peat, Dame Fiona Kidman, Philip Simpson, Kate De Goldi and

biography, children’s fiction, creative non-fiction, essays, fiction, graphic
