Any Kiwis out there ?

Kiwi here, from the mighty Waikato.

In terms of agents, I don't know any writers who are repped in NZ. They all have American agents. None have ever had any problem representing an overseas writer, the timezone difference is fairly easy to manage with email/phone. Guess it depends on what market you are aiming for.

Hey, I'm from the Waikato too! Cambridge, to be precise...

I left in 1999 "for a few years". The best laid plans of mice and men etc.

Hi there,

I´m not a kiwi but I went to NZL on my honeymoon and I just loved it. The landscape, the people, everything. I´ll definitely come back some day!

hey all! another one here live in Christchurch. Good to see there is a few of us here.

Another Kiwi here (Dunedin).

On my current project, I tried the four NZ agents listed in the Writers and Artists Yearbook, got rejected, so am currently having the fun of contacting those overseas agents who actually accept emails.

Hi all,

I see a few of our trans-Tasman cousins but I was wondering if anyone from the motherland is out there ?

I'm living in the U.K. right now but it would be great to catch up with someone from N.Z. that also enjoys writing.

Kiwi ex-pat here, currently living in Canada.

Signing in. Taranaki is home, but currently studying in Palmerston North.

I'm from Ireland but I've been living in Auckland with my Kiwi hubby for the past 8 years and it's very much home. (Waves) Hi Lisa - we've met a few times at RWNZ stuff It's fantastic to see you so successful!

My story, Selma's Choice, was one of the successful submissions for the Lemon Twist Press anthology and will be on sale on 3 October. This time next week there will be a book out there with my name on the front cover!

I've been a member of this site for ages but I'm only just realising how good it is.

Cheers

Bumping this thread , another Kiwi here. Finally back in the homeland after being in other countries for several years

Good heavens! I think there might be more of you lot on AW than there are Aussies... Not surprising - you have some brilliant writers. I love reading New Zealand.

Back in Taranaki.

First part of our evil world domination plan is infiltration. We are EVERYWHERE.

Kia ora! New member, living in Paekakariki, back in NZ for 6 years after 40 years in Oz and USA. It's a different country! Find links to my writing at

US/Kiwi Hybrid

I'm from the United States, but I'll be in Christchurch, NZ at least for the next 3 years. Hello all.

The South Island's an awesome place to be, e.istre91. Welcome! There's a lot of good tramping (hiking) there if you're interested in that.

Yep I'm waiting for the warmer weather to roll around, but then I plan on hiking as much as I can.

Oo, well, here's another!

I'm a US / Kiwi hybrid too - jeepers there are a few of us as well! Live in Wellington, though I went to high school in Taupo and uni in Dunners All up, have lived in NZ for 24 years!

Really, really cool to see so many kiwis here

Don't miss the Kepler track! Everyone says do Milford, and they're right it is spectacular, but Kepler is stunning.

Check out the DOC (Dept. of Conservation) site for the Great Walks and other tramping tracks.

I'm not a Kiwi, but I have been in Christchurch for six months helping with the rebuild. My work here is now done, but it was good to be an honorary member for a while.

Will definitely be back this way in a decade or so to see how it all turns out.

You can't go anywhere on the interweb without running into Kiwi infiltrators. We should have a secret handshake. Or carry a folded NZ Herald.

I am in Dunedin. Well, Port Chalmers actually.
