Words on Wheels

What has twelve legs, four wheels, and a pile of literary awards? The New Zealand Book Council's Words on Wheels (WOW) tour, which sends a wagon-load of top writers into a different region of New Zealand each year.

On the bus in Taranaki is David Hill (Teen Fiction), Duncan Sarkies (Fiction), Briar Grace-Smith (Scriptwriting), Alison Wong (Poetry) and Janet Hunt (Non-fiction), visiting schools, libraries and other venues throughout Taranaki from 12 – 18 February.
