The Top of the South Branch
​of ​the ​New Zealand Society of Authors

​This site is no longer current.
Our new website is here:
www.nzsa-topwriters.org


The Top of the South Branch of NZSA covers the area from the South Island's West Coast, through Golden Bay, Nelson, Marlborough Sounds and Blenheim.

Our small committee of volunteers relies on regional volunteers (no need to be a member of NZSA) to coordinate local events and gatherings. We are here to assist with publicity, financial support and advice as required. 

Our Background:
The Top of the South is a branch of The New Zealand Society of Authors (NZSA) that has been in operation since 1934. NZSA is the principal representative for the professional interests of writers by:
  • protecting basic rights to freedom of expression,
  • working to improve income and conditions,
  • promoting Aotearoa New Zealand writing and literary culture
  • developing and creating a community for writers.

The Top of the South Committee was established in 2005 and is managed by a small group of dedicated local writers.
