Winter Writing School 2026.
Due to the loss of a key funder and rising costs, we are reviewing the viability of our winter school.
We are keen to hear from potential sponsors.
WHAT OUR YOUNG WRITERS SAID LAST YEAR
I've made loads of new friends that I really hope to continue talking to, we've talked about things that I can't normally talk about with non-writer friends, and despite us being from all over New Zealand we've connected in many different ways."
"I just really loved the course, it felt inspiring and made me really enjoy poetry, which I had never really liked before."
"Summer School is a great way to get out of your comfort zone and improve your writing, but mainly to inevitably join "a cult"."
"I would do this instead of school if it was an option."
"In many ways, going to these summer schools has changed my life— they’ve taught me so much and allowed me to meet so many amazing people, both peers and tutors, who I never would’ve crossed paths with otherwise."
