SLANZA 17 Conference welcomes Steve Braunias as final plenary speaker


We are delighted to announce that on the last morning of Conference we have Steve Braunias, who is sure to entertain and intrigue.

Steve is a New Zealander and an award-winning writer who has written under a variety of hats – as a journalist, non-fiction author, newspaper columnist, magazine feature writer and editor, as well as a primetime television writer.

Not only is he a writer whose career has crossed many different mediums, he is also an author who gets you scurrying around the library, across an incredibly wide selection of subject areas. His non-fiction topics include birdwatching; criminal psychology; cities and towns; politics; and retail stores. His passions are varied, but almost always come back to the places, things and people of New Zealand.

He writes stories with satire, opinion and comedy and has been described as “a scavenger of social lodestone” a wonderful phrase which conjures up all kinds of images. We are very lucky to have him speaking at Conference and can’t wait to hear what he has to say.
