About 

​

Tania is a New Zealand author who writes for both adults and children. Her work in research and education has always involved writing, but it's through creative writing she finds the joy of story-telling.

 

Her forthcoming debut novel is a colourful and contemporary tale exploring themes of duality, culpability and personal power against a backdrop of art and environmentalism in New Zealand.​

Tania re-discovered the magic of picture books through reading to her two boys when they were small. She now writes and collects picture books that capture the wonder in the small and the everyday. She loves the unique interplay of word and image, and the power of children's books to speak to all ages. 

​

She also writes short stories and has been a finalist in a number of national and international short story competitions.

​

Tania finds memory, place, light and texture rich sources for feeding the imagination. She grew up in Tāmaki Makaurau-Auckland, a sprawling city, but a haven of wild places too, where she was free to roam through bush and Pōhutukawa draped beaches, dog in tow. It is out of such ramblings her writing grows. She now lives in Nelson-Whakatū where rolling hills and river valleys meet the ocean.
