What a year it's been. As we write this final update for 2020, we have been teaching online for nine months! The restrictions may have closed our physical studio, but it opened our online 'doors' to young writers far and wide. Our team has been able to continue working while being close to their loved ones at home, interstate and overseas. We've discovered new ways to support more young writers, their families, teachers, and each other so that when we return to in-person teaching we can incorporate the best of both the online and offline worlds into our programs.

 Sammy's winning story was: "A ridiculous twisted tale of the number 1 writer, Andy, and his best friend, Terry! They went on a dangerous journey to the STONE AGE and bumped into their past selves on a quest to save their story writing careers!" Meet Sammy, one of our amazing Story Writing Club writers!
She recently entered the Coles Little Treehouse Competition, for which she wrote and illustrated a 'wild and wacky' story to be judged by Andy Griffiths himself. And out of over 6000 entries from across the country, she was one of the top 100 winners! Her writing won her family a $100 Coles Myer gift card, 100 books for her school, and a book for the Indigenous Literacy Foundation. Congratulations Sammy! We're incredibly proud of you, and so happy to hear about your words (and wackiness) having a positive impact on the world. Read on to learn more about Sammy's book, her creative writing process, her advice for other young writers, and flying eyeballs. |
