AT THE BAY | I TE KOKORU is a community devoted to the short form, from micro and flash fiction to short stories and creative nonfiction, from hybrid and experimental work to the novella-in-flash.

We reach across boundaries of genre and form, as well as voice, gender, language and history, to support a varied range of writers who represent the forward-thinking voices of Aotearoa.

Mansfield’s ‘At the Bay’ was published in 1922. One hundred years later, we acknowledge the importance of the short story in Aotearoa while celebrating innovative voices in our multi-cultural world.

Please see the About page to find out more about our projects and how you can get involved. 

AT THE BAY | I TE KOKORU affirms and upholds the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi and acknowledges Māori as the tangata whenua and kaitiaki of Aotearoa.
