Gerard O'Brien

I’m a writer based in Pae tu Mokai (Featherston, Wairarapa), New Zealand. My stories have appeared in Landfall, Turbine | Kapohau, and Flash Frontier, among others, and I was longlisted for the 2025 Commonwealth Short Story Prize. I teach Creative Writing at Te Pūkenga | NorthTec and also work as a technical writer across various industries. I love collaborating and talking about writing—feel free to get in touch if you’re interested in chatting.
