www.huia.co.nzThe diversity is testament to Maori writers making their unique mark on creative industries. This year we have seen James George as a finalist in the Tasmania Pacific Fiction Prize, Kelly Ana Morey as a finalist in the Kiriyama Prize, and Patricia Grace named both a New Zealand icon and winner of the Deutz Medal for Fiction and Poetry at the Montana Book Awards. The Maori Writers Festival provides an opportunity to sample what's happening in Maori writing today.
