New Zealand Young Writers Festival 2023 was a phenomenal success! Showcasing the talents of over 40 young writers from across Aotearoa in 17 events over four days, an audience of hundreds was wowed by the passion, skills and energy of these extraordinary young writers. The festival team thanks our artists for making the experience so fun and our audiences for supporting them!
