Literary award
In June 2007, Creative New Zealand (The Arts Council of New Zealand) announced the awarding of the prestigious Michael King Writers’ Fellowship for 2007 to Neville Peat. He is the fifth recipient. The $100,000 fellowship, New Zealand’s largest literary prize, is for projects spanning two or more years. Neville will work on two projects through the fellowship:
- A major study of the Tasman Sea, including its nature, geography, human history, and natural resources, and the communities living on its shores, and
- A third story in the Lark trilogy (see Lark books), set in the mountains at the head of Lake Wakatipu.
