Catherine Chidgey - writing short and sweet

From Nights, 7:15 pm on 31 March 2022

Entries have opened for the Sargeson Prize short story competition. The ultimate winning author will carry away a hefty purse of ten thousand dollars, but it's a great opportunity for New Zealand writers to practise and celebrate the form. It's a literary form with a proud heritage and promising future in Aotearoa. Bryan is joined by New Zealand Author and Senior Lecturer in Creative Writing at the University of Waikato Catherine Chidgey to discuss the health of the short story in 2022.
