Part of the Katherine Mansfield House & Garden 2024 Open DayMichelle Elvy and Harry Ricketts are thrilled to present this year’s At the Bay | I Te Kokoru celebration and awards. At the Bay | I Te Kokoru provides a platform for Aotearoa New Zealand writers of the short form, from short stories to hybrid, from creative nonfiction small stories to translations and translingual work, from flash fiction to micro.
In 2024, we explore hauntings. The event opens with readings from At the Bay | I Te Kokoru 2024 authors and books published this year by Janis Freegard, Jenna Heller, Sharni Wilson and a collection of Ōtepoti writers celebrating their city and Janet Frame. We’ll also announce the winners of the 2024 Sparkling Prose competition, with stories ‘haunted’.
