Over the course of 2022, a select group of young writers was invited to take part in a year-long writing program at Story Factory. Their goal was to produce a fully realised novella. This is one of the novellas produced in these workshops.
Year of the Novella 2022 was made possible thanks to the support of a group of generous donors:
Bernadette Brennan & Justin Gleeson SC
Rosebrook Foundation
Caroline Beecham & John Lydon
Greg Dean & Richard Unsworth
Kim Anderson
Deena Shiff & James Gill
Year of the Novella would not have been possible without the unstinting support of the editorial and production teams at Penguin Random House, Midland Typesetters, and the generosity of printer Griffin Press.
