Emerging NZ writers to receive manuscript guidance
Emerging NZ writers to receive manuscript guidance
NZ Society of Authors is delighted
to announce this year's CompleteMS
recipients.
Thirteen writers with manuscripts that
include memoir, historical fiction, young adult fiction,
mystery NZ fairy tales, supernatural romance and adult
fiction have been chosen to receive a full manuscript
assessment of the MS they submitted. The selection panel
commented: "We were impressed with the quality of the
applications and humbled by the amount of work that writers
had put into the manuscripts". The selection panel was made
up of writers Chris Else, Janet Hunt and Phillip
Mann.
Congratulations to the 2015 CompleteMS recipients: Tui Allen, Adele Broadbent, Chris Carrell, April Chang, Greg Hall, Dave Hayward, Anne Kayes, Carrie Miller, Anne Moir, Amy Paulussen, Jenni Sands, Neil Shaddick and Judy Tindill. This year's manuscripts are as diverse as the regions they call home: from Wanaka in the south through to Dunedin, Christchurch, Napier, Feilding, Thames, Hamilton, Papakura, Auckland, and Matakana.
CompleteMS Manuscript Assessments are offered by NZ Society of Authors every year with the intent of fostering and developing emerging talent with the support of established practitioners. The NZSA has run a highly successful full manuscript assessment programme for writers since 1999 and it is supported by funding from Creative New Zealand.
