Kiwi Writers is a free community for writers who want to have fun writing.
Kiwi Writers will help you get writing whether your goal is publication or not. All you need is a deadline and a group of writers to join and encourage you. We have all types of events to get you writing, ranging from annual extravaganzas to spur of the moment challenges. We have resources to help you improve your writing and progress your work to any level you like. Whether your aim is to be published, to write a gift for friends and family, or just for your own enjoyment, you'll find what you need here.
Kiwi Writers is brought to you from New Zealand. We provide information on the New Zealand publishing industry and opportunities therein.
So do something you've always wanted to do and Join Us!

The Southern Cross Novel Challenge for 2008 was a roaring success. Congratulations to all of the participants and if you didn't participate this year mark it in your calendar for 2009 when it will be bigger and better than ever!.
SoCNoC Index Pages
You can still find all the links to the forum, pep talks, klog posts, word count widget and challenge on the SoCNoC 2008 Index. We've also added the total word count widget to the SoCNoC 2007 Index page so you can see how we stacked up to last year.
