Timeline

1939

Shonagh Maureen Koea (born 1939) is a New Zealand fiction writer.

Koea was born in Taranaki, New Zealand, in 1939, and grew up in Hastings, Hawke's Bay.

She became a journalist and began working at the Taranaki Herald newspaper in New Plymouth.

There she met and married a fellow journalist, George Koea of Te Āti Awa.

She wrote novels as a pastime; however none were published.

In her late 20s Koea stopped writing fiction, disillusioned with her lack of success.

1981

However, ten years later, in 1981, she submitted a story to New Zealand's leading literary contest of the time (the Air New Zealand Short Story Competition) and won.

Her stories began to be published in magazines such as The Listener.

1987

Koea's husband died in 1987, and in 1990 she moved to Auckland.

Since then, she has been a full-time writer; she has received a number of literary grants and fellowships, and produced novels, short stories and memoirs.

Recurring themes in Koea's writing are personal relationships and their difficulties, and men's and women's roles in the family.

Male characters are often oppressive, and females initially helpless; after a period, however, the women eventually take charge of their own destiny.

Her narratives have been likened to those of fellow New Zealand writers Katherine Mansfield and Frank Sargeson, which also centred on familiar characters and situations.

Koea's main publisher is Random House.
