Topics for all levels
Try our Launchpad series if you're starting out or Brainfood to delve deeper or stretch your boundaries.
How it works
Each module focuses on a specific writing topic to do with craft, industry or the writing life.
Launchpad modules are aimed at those starting out and Brainfood modules for more experienced writers.
All modules include:
- audio visual teaching
- exercises (with closed captions)
- discussion topics and/or
- reading materials.
You can stop and start as you need. We anticipate each module will take a minimum of an hour to complete.
Please note that you will need to have access to the internet for the duration of the module.

Learn with a friend or group
The Writer Toolkit is designed with individuals and groups in mind.
You could complete a module each time your NZSA regional hub or writing group meets or use these as supplementary activities.
All you'll need is a shared space, screen/projector and internet access and you can learn together!
