Writers in Schools visits
We have over 200 of Aotearoa’s best novelists, journalists, poets, playwrights, screenwriters, essayists, storytellers and illustrators available to inspire your students and staff, either in person or by video call.
One of the benefits of being a Read NZ Te Pou Muramura member school is that we can subsidise the cost of your first Writers in Schools visit each year. School membership costs $90 and the price of a second or subsequent author visit starts at $330.
Check out our Writers in Schools FAQ to help answer some of your questions in more detail.
