Bookrapt Bookmonth Presents - Tau Ju Wri Mo
|
Tauranga Junior Writers Month is almost here! Visit this page during the month of November 2020 to access writing prompts from local authors. We can’t wait to see what you will write!
Bookrapt invites young writers, or those new to writing, to meet a different author from the bay and around Aotearoa each day during the month of November. In 3 minute vlogs, starting with Bookrapt’s patron Phyllis Johnston, authors will present tips and tasks that have helped them in their own writing journeys. Participants will also be given an opportunity to submit a short piece of writing each day to go into the draw for book prizes; the overall winner will win an ‘author in school’ for the school of their choice. Submit your writing to us, and you’ll go in the draw to win an author visit to your class at school!* *The school must be located within either the Tauranga City Council or the Western Bay District Council to be eligible to win. |

Young NZ Writers puts on a yearly one day workshop for young budding writers. Students and teachers alike look forward to attending this event each year. However, due to Covid-19, we've had to improvise our program for 2020. We are excited to announce the upcoming release of a FREE webinar – Young NZ Writers' Day In – an exciting selection of short video presentations by New Zealand authors. You will learn a little about our presenters and their work, along with a topic related to the field of writing. This new program was released on 19th June 2020 and continues to be available for a year to all who visit our website. Our goal is to inspire the next generation of writers. Share the creativity and enjoy our exciting new program. |
