Three
lucky secondary school students are again being given the opportunity to work
with three of New Zealand ’s
best professional authors in order to hone their writing skills and develop
their craft.
The NZSA Youth Mentoring Programme 2014 deadline is
now looming - aspiring young writers
(15-18) have until April 1 to get their applications in and take advantage of a
10 hour mentorship.
2013 recipient Charlotte Steel says her mentorship
last year saw her produce a body of work that she had enough confidence in to
enter into competitions.
“I entered some of my work in various competitions
with a good success rate and I aim to do more of this and wish my mentorship
could continue! ”
The intent of the programme is to foster and develop emerging writing
talent with the support of established authors. The NZSA has run a highly successful mentoring programme for writers since 1999 and it is sponsored by
Creative New Zealand.
Deadline: 1 April 2014
