Novelist, short story writer and essayist Paula Morris (Ngati Wai, Ngati Whatua) is this year's Katherine Mansfield Menton Fellowship, allowing her to live for six months in Menton, in the south-east of France. She gets access to the writing room beneath the terrace of the Villa Isola Bella, where Katherine Mansfield did some of her most significant writing.

Paula talked to Noelle about her experience so far in Menton, including helping to organise a big 50th-anniversary celebration of the relationship between New Zealand and France.
