New Zealand authors will attend
high-profile international literary festivals and
share our literary culture on the world stage with
assistance from New Zealand Book Council International
Travel Fund grants.
Stephanie Johnson, Selina Tusitala Marsh, Dylan Horrocks,
Eleanor Catton, Elizabeth Knox, Greg O’Brien, Jenny Bornholdt and Lloyd Jones will be supported through the Book Council’s 2013/14 International
Travel Fund to attend upcoming international literary events. The purpose of
the fund is to support and showcase New Zealand writing talent at key
international writing festivals.
Since 2009 the programme has made a targeted approach to enhancing
the profile of New Zealand writing overseas by developing long term
relationships with a specific range of international festivals. Strong relationships have been developed with close
neighbour Australia and important international English language festivals in
the UK, Canada and the United States.
