Kiwi Writers February Update

Posted Sat, 04/02/2012 - 05:28 by xengab

Hi KiwiWriters Member,

Milkshake (an excerpt) - by Matt Hammond

Posted Wed, 01/02/2012 - 06:59 by Cassie

This is the first 500 words of Matt's latest novel. You can find more information about the book at its website.

Shredded paper lay on the restroom floor, still wet from recent mopping. A steady stream of scalding water misted the mirror above a hand basin. Standing at the urinal, David heard the creak of a stall door. A warm hand from behind pressed something firmly over his mouth. As he inhaled and began to drift asleep, David Turner’s mind replayed the last conversation before his life paused.

We Need You!

Hello Kiwi Writer!

We Need You!

At the end of February we will be saying goodbye to one of our long term staff members Cassie Hart. She has been here from the beginning and has been one of the key people to make Kiwi Writers what it is today. Though she will continue to be around Kiwi Writers she will no longer be a staff member leaving the position of Publicist vacant.

Books vs Workshops

Posted Sat, 14/01/2012 - 05:14 by xengab

      Are all good writers the product of a writing course or workshop? Or can a writer get ahead being self taught?

      Do we as writers, think their are habits or skills one can only learn through doing a workshop or writing class?

Create A Challenge

Posted Fri, 06/01/2012 - 09:31 by Cassie

Dear Kiwi Writer,

Kiwi Writers came about because of a challenge - National Novel Writing Month. A group of us met during November, 2006, and had so much fun that we decided we didn't want that feeling to fade. Not long after, Kiwiwriters.org was born, and with it, a love of challenges.

Dear Kiwi Writer

Time used wisely.

   One question most people ask writers is, Where do you find the time?

Dear Kiwi Writer,   Welcome to December.
For many it is a very busy month of family gatherings, friends having parties and lots of food being stuffed in.
