Story Studios Australia, previously Melbourne Young Writers' Studio, run creative story writing programs for kids, teens and adults.
From weekly clubs and mentorships for young writers with opportunities to be published throughout the year, to immersive holiday programs, to primary and secondary school incursions and excursions, and an impressive array of adult short courses and events – Story Studios is a place where community, creativity and confidence are nurtured and writers are supported to find their voice and advance their creative story writing skills.
The programs are led by professional and practising writers who are passionate about sharing their expertise and inspiring other writers, from those just emerging to those with an established practice.
Fun, immersive and perfect for challenging those looking to hone their craft as well as those seeking extra support, Story Studios is a magical space that will inspire and enchant all.
