The Kiwi Roster

The Kiwi young writer Roster major feature are the people who ensure the Kiwi young writer program runs smoothly.

Since 2019 the Kiwi young writers have been ‘standing alone’ – this means they run their own program and are on the way to forming a self operating Entity.

These are two very different things

Standing Alone is the daily operating of the young writer program. The Entity is that the Kiwi young writers take legal control of the operation.

The Kiwi Roster

Coordinators  -   these are the people who send the reminders of the due date their articles are due.

Editor  -  edits the articles

Late comers chaser  -  this person sends an email to whomever is late with their article.

Photo selector  -  this person selects the photos for each article  -  sometimes a young writer sends in their own photo.

Facebook  -  these people upload the Kiwi articles to the Kiwi young writer facebook page and add a 1-2 line Overview.

NZ Christian media  -   these people each day sends the Kiwi article of the day to NZ Christian media.

Over 31s  -  they have a separate team

Christian Today New Zealand  -  this person sends the packaged articles for the following week into Christian Today for publishing.

The Entity

Instead of someone in Australia overseeing all this, after 9 years the Kiwi young writers were intending to stand legally and take charge of their own program  -  Covid 19 has put a temporary stop to that.

When it does happen, it will include things like  -  when someone on the roster needs to take a break and for someone else to become engaged  -   the Kiwi Entity will have someone for this role in helping that exchange of personnel.

Conferences will be run by the Entity – chasing new young writers will be part of the Entity’s function. Answering questions and promoting the Kiwi young writers will be part of the role of the Entity.

This is being put on hold until the Covid 19 pandemic is past us. An entity requires ‘focus’ and Covid 19 is focus enough at the moment.
