A photo of Pip Goldsbury by the sea. She’s smiling, wearing her straight blonde hair shoulder-length, and a white t-shirt under a beige jacket with black pants. Pip Goldsbury is an independent writer and interior designer based in Akaroa, Aotearoa. Driven by a passion for people and places, Pip is a kaleidoscope of creativity on paper and in the home. She is a regular contributor to NZ Life & Leisure magazine and features across a multitude of platforms, from international art blogs to interior design columns and commercial content. Curiously creative, she is a wrangler of words and a disciple of coffee. Her Bachelor of Arts majoring in English Literature feels like a long time ago. Today, Pip is a storyteller of words and spaces, happiest adventuring alongside her husband and adult children. You can find Pip at https://www.quill.co.nz/

A photo of Ann Palmer who is smiling at the camera and wearing a pink jumper. A small white takahē logo in the corner is accompanied by the words: Ann Palmer, Essay, takahē 117. The small white takahē logo against a pink background with Ann Palmer’s bio: Ann was born in New Zealand, worked in London as a bibliographer, and then St Petersburg giving seminars for teachers of English. After several years in Porto, becoming a citizen and enjoying her new life there, she has returned to New Zealand. She spends her time writing and reading of course, and out with her camera. Street scenes, nature, art and architecture, people, seen in the artistic moment, translated into words.
