AUT Centre for Creative Writing

Since its inception in 2008 the Centre has developed a reputation for fostering excellence in prose narrative and has hosted some of Auckland’s most prominent writers and tertiary-based creative writing teachers. As with similar programmes worldwide, we recognise that any category of writing – not just 'high literature' but biography, travel writing, children's stories, narrative journalism, even academic writing – can be creative. We encourage excellence in traditional literary genres but also in the full range of contemporary popular genres.
