The University of Otago College of Education / Creative New Zealand Children’s Writer in Residence
The University of Otago College of Education / Creative New Zealand Children’s Writer in Residence will not be offered in 2026. This has been a difficult decision, which we have had to make due to a change in our external funding. The University is committed to seeking funding to be able to resume this important residency in 2027 and beyond. A fundraising campaign to build an endowment fund for the Children’s Writer in Residence is now underway – if successful, we can ensure the future of this residency in perpetuity.
Please support the University of Otago College of Education Children’s Writer in Residence by making a donation via our website (select Children’s Writers in Residence from the drop-down list).
