Hi, I’m Nik Dirga. I’m an American journalist who emigrated to New Zealand in 2006. My work has been published by Radio New Zealand, The New Zealand Listener, the New Zealand Herald, Australian Associated Press, The Spinoff and much more.
My new book gathering up essays, columns and features from across my career is now available on Amazon as a paperback or ebook: Clippings – Collected Journalism 1994-2024!
I am also the creator of the small-press comic book Amoeba Adventures which I have been drawing in some form or another since 1986! You can find free PDF downloads of pretty much the entire series elsewhere right on this very site and two book collections of classic and newer material are also available on Amazon!
