WHO WE ARE
If you’re any kind of creative writer in New Zealand, you may have found it challenging to get your words shared, seen, and applauded. It’s either so difficult to ‘break out’ among the same high-profile names in the industry, get feedback, or to receive acknowledgement and accolades for your work. There’s also no ‘easy’ place to submit your work and see it published. We want to change that.
Little Monroe Literary and its journal The Little Lit is for writers, readers, reviewers, and inspiration-seekers. We celebrate novelists, short story writers, children’s book authors, illustrators, graphic novelists, poets, scriptwriters, and lyricists. With free submissions, regular competitions, and monthly themes to get the creative juices flowing, we are unashamed to share your work on your behalf. We will be your biggest advocate.
More than all of this, we want to be a community for our creatives out there.
