Over the course of 2024, some amazing young writers met every week to write, create, and to share their wonderful ideas. They each published their very own book.
This is the first volume in our Best of Story Factory series, highlighting the outstanding work written by young people in Story Factory creative writing workshops in 2020.
In this collection you'll find artworks and writing created by students as they investigate both the site of the Parramatta Female Factory Institutions Precinct which has been an orphanage, prison, asylum, medical facility and school, and our shared history on Darug land.

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.
The biggest challenge of writing was having the courage to voice my ideas, to take the chance, to create something, purely from my mind and imagination knowing that one day it would be in the hands of another, opening their eyes to a world I had created. The vulnerability, although scary, is one of the best things I have done.
Poetry and writing is such a meaningful thing to learn. I believe that everyone is a writer and everyone has a story to tell. Whether through poetry, music, or art, everyone deserves to express themselves and experience the kind of joy that only comes from such a passion. For me, that is poetry.
