Master of Creative Writing alumna Katie Furze, who graduated from AUT in 2019, has a new book, ‘Kekeno, Curious Explorer’, launching on 1 May.
Her books are nonfiction picture books, illustrated by Ned Barraud and published by Scholastic NZ, about the incredible wildlife of Aotearoa.
Katie says the creative writing degree made a huge difference to her writing skills, enabling her to finally obtain her long-term goal of publishing children's books with a major New Zealand publisher.
