The Story Factory Bookshop

Story Factory publishes a thrilling selection of student writing from our creative writing programs each year. Our students range in age from 7- 17 and come from diverse backgrounds across Western Sydney and beyond.

We are so proud to present their writing here for sale.

Proceeds from our bookstore support creative writing programs for young people from under resourced communities.

Israa is truly a ray of light! In 2021, when Israa completed the Year of Poetry program, she entered every workshop with a beaming smile and the brightest 'hiya' you'll ever hear.

Her writing is honest, generous and always willing to invite the reader into the intimacies of her worldview, asking us to stand alongside her and question the world. Her work strives for freedom, she examines both the larger injustices of the world and the smaller day-to-day challenges.

Atoc has been working with Story Factory for years, and in her writing you'll find a young author who is always deeply thoughtful and intent on exploring the complexities of life as a young person in this day and age.

Her work, which is clearly aware of the immediacies of life in the suburbs of Sydney and the daily challenges of school, is also unafraid to look further afield exploring larger issues of identity, the consequences of war and the hope for belonging.
