Each year, young writers enrolled in Story Studios Australia programs have the opportunity to see their stories published in our beautiful annual anthologies. Those young writers who become published authors in our print publications celebrate all they have achieved at our end of year book launch (previous launches have taken place at venues such as The Edge, Fed Square and The State Library), and can see their stories on the shelves of some of Melbourne’s finest bookstores; Readings Kids Carlton and The Little Bookroom.
Contact us to find out how your young writer can be involved!
