Pens & PJs

Are you an author between the ages of 18-29? Keen to carve out some space for your work? Join the New Zealand Society of Author's Youth Rep, Helena, for some dedicated writing time, kōrero and kai on the first Wednesday of each month!

Wellington Writers' Studio is our beautiful venue in the heart of Cuba Street, but we are open to rangatahi from across New Zealand - just email pensandpjs@nzauthors.org.nz for the Zoom link.

We welcome writers of all backgrounds and experiences, at any stage of their creative journey. Each month we post a different piece by a young New Zealand author (the Midnight Snack) on our Instagram that loosely guides the discussion. Half of our session is always reserved for quiet writing. If you are not a member of the NZSA, we encourage a gold coin koha at the door to cover venue and catering costs. Flick us an email if you have any questions, or follow us on Instagram for updates - @pensandpjs!

The Studio is located at 145 Cuba Street, on the second floor (look out for the McLeavey Gallery sign). Please note that it can only be accessed via a steep flight of stairs.
