Welcome to NZ WRITERS' COLLEGE  

NZ Writers' College offers specialist online writing courses tutored by multi-award-winning professional writers. We do more than help students polish their writing skills; because of our expert hands-on training, we prepare New Zealand writers for a career in writing. 

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-winning broadcast journalist, Noel Cisneros and Auckland-based author, Peter Cross.

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. Above all, our aim is to see your name in print.
