Be among the first to hear from the newly announced winner of the country’s biggest literary award in their first public interview since winning the career-changing prize. With the winning author revealed at the Ockham NZ Book Awards during Festival week, we can’t tell you yet who will be in the interviewee seat.

However, with recent recipients of the calibre of Damien Wilkins, Catherine Chidgey, Emily Perkins and Becky Manawatu, you’re going to want a front-row seat.

The winner joins convenor of the fiction judges Craig Cliff to discuss their winning book and writing journey.
