The Creative Hub - Auckland's Waterfront Writing Centre

Now Showing
 
We have five copies of Creative Hub graduate Rosetta Allan’s new novel ‘Purgatory’ to give away. The novel, published this month by Penguin, is based on the Otahuhu murders of 1865. Those who enrol in any July course will be in the draw to win a copy of this hot new novel.

Our next 30 Week Fiction Course begins on 30 September. The course is in its fifth year, and features many of NZ’s leading writers and editors as workshop leaders and mentors, including Fiona Kidman, Tessa Duder, Geoff Walker, Roger Hall, Chris Else, Sarah Laing, Elisabeth Smither and Judith White. Students receive one-on-one mentoring over the summer with an established Kiwi writer. Graduates regularly report that the most valuable aspect of the course is the close support of a group of like-minded start out writers. Many graduate groups go on meeting for years after the end of the course, so you get several years support for the price of one! Seven graduates of our 30 week fiction courses have gone on to publish novels or win prizes in national writing awards.
