4th Floor Literary Journal
Kia hiwa ra!
Good news! We’re getting ready for a new edition of ‘4th Floor’, our literary journal showcasing excellent work from Whitireia’s Creative Writing Programme students.
Whether you are currently studying writing with Whitireia or you are a past student of our Creative Writing programme, we would love to receive your work for consideration.
Visit the new look online journal here.
This year’s guest editor is Hinemoana Baker. Hinemoana is a published poet and fiction-writer, has had plays and film scripts produced, and is also known as a musician, broadcaster and producer. She tutored poetry at Whitireia in 2007 and 2008, and edited last year’s ‘4th Floor’ journal. Her publishing team includes students from Whitireia Polytechnic’s Diploma in Publishing course.
We’re currently updating our database of student contacts. If you are in touch with a past student who hasn’t heard from us, please pass this on.

How and when to submit:
The fine-print:
We are unable to publish previously published work, unless that publication was in the 2003 Whitireia anthology ‘A Magpie Stole My Heart’.
We are also unable to publish any work which quotes song lyrics, or includes any text which is the work of another writer. Unfortunately we’re unable to publish children’s writing this edition.
As a non-profit publication, ‘4th Floor’ is unable to offer payment for contributions. For all accepted material, copyright will revert to the author upon publication.

Remember we’re always keen to hear how our past writing students are getting along out in the world. Please keep in touch with us about all your wonderful projects, publications and productions:
