NZ Writers College

What we do -  We offer 17 writing courses via e-mail correspondence. We also run a national, free-to-enter, writing competition and sponsor several students on our courses each year.

We are proud of the impressive line-up of our tutors, including: Montana New Zealand Book Award finalist, Charlotte Randall, Yvonne van Dongen (winner of several Qantas Awards), Three-times Emmy award-winning broadcast journalist, Noel Cisneros and award-winning Kiwi author, Paul Smith.

 Whether you want to write your first novel, screenplay, magazine article or learn to write winning copy for websites, our courses will help you get there.

Who we are -   We are a team of professional writers who have been training writers online since 2005. Our writing courses were specifically designed to answer all the questions we had when we started out as writers in our particular writing industries. Our courses are perfect for aspirant writers wanting to broaden their skillset, or who want to launch themselves into a writing career or specialist branch of writing.

NZ Writers' College is Kiwi-owned and operated by Nichola Meyer (Principal) and Koos Turenhout (Administrator).
