Congratulations to Breton Dukes on winning the $10,000 NZSA Peter and Dianne Beatson Fellowship 2025 to work on a collection of connected short stories!

This annual award is made possible by the generosity of the Beatson’s. In establishing this fellowship, they have given NZ authors a valuable opportunity to be economically secure while they bring a project to completion. It’s a commitment and affirmation for New Zealand Aotearoa writers.
