We are absolutely delighted to present a very special opportunity: the inaugural Story Studios Australia Publishing Prize. This unique prize is designed to foster young talent and provide budding writers with a chance to see their creative ideas come to life in their very own print publication.

What’s is the Publishing Prize?

One lucky writer from each age category (that’s 8-12 and 13-17) will win:

4 private mentoring sessions with expert story mentors to help bring your story idea to life.

📚 Your own published book – yes, you read that right! YOUR VERY OWN BOOK!

🎨 Design and typesetting for a polished, beautiful look.

📦 20 professionally printed copies of your masterpiece to share with family, friends, and (let’s be honest) brag about forever!

How Can You Enter?

It’s easy! Here’s the plan:

Enrol in Semester 1, 2025 before 31 December 2024. Whether you’re joining us online, in person, in group sessions, or private mentorship, you’re eligible. And if you already signed up in November—good news—you’re automatically in the running!

Start brainstorming your best story idea – we’re talking about something only YOU can create!
