This lecture aims to deliver an overview of the ‘state of the nation’ for literature and writing in New Zealand, raising the profile of our authors and leading to a greater understanding of what it means to be a writer in New Zealand.

One of New Zealand’s foremost novelists for young people, multi-award winning William Taylor has published more than thirty novels.
