About

Kia ora! I’m Tate. I’m a London-based writer, producer, creative director, and literary editor originally from Aotearoa New Zealand.

I am the lead editor of Starling, a literary journal showcasing the work of Aotearoa writers under the age of 25, and have also held programming, producing, and marketing roles at various arts organisations, including the Barbican Centre, Te Ahurei Toi o Tāmaki Auckland Arts Festival, and Whānau Mārama New Zealand International Film Festival.

Independently, I’ve produced sold-out seasons of theatre, developing the debuts of both Big Time (2025) and Champions (2023) for extracurricular.

My poetry collection, Short Films, was released with Tender Press in 2022.
