Writing
Langstone has regularly contributed articles, travel stories, and essays to New Zealand publications such as The Spinoff, the New Zealand Herald, and North & South.[6][7][8]
She won a 2020 Voyager Media Award for Best Interview or Profile[9] and a 2021 Voyager Media Award for Best First Person Essay.[10]
Her debut memoir Times Like These: On Grief, Hope, and Remarkable Love was released to critical acclaim. Kete reviewer Ruth Spencer wrote: "The practicalities and incremental tragedies of death are made newly poignant by the depth of Langstone’s perception. Readers who have experienced deep grief will be hit hard and early by moments that utterly destroy composure."[11]
At Newsroom, Madison Hamill wrote: "As you might expect from a talented actress, she has great skill in observing the little things people do that reveal the heart of who they are".[12]
