About - Toitoi

Toitoi celebrates the creative spirit of young New Zealanders. We believe that their work has purpose and deserves a wide audience.

We publish material with an original and authentic voice that other young people can connect to and be inspired by and that reflects the cultures and experiences of life in New Zealand.

Our philosophy is to treat young writers and artists with respect, handle their work with care and produce a beautifully designed journal of high quality that reflects how much we value and admire them.
