The Sydney Story Factory is a not-for-profit creative writing centre for young people at 176 Redfern Street, Redfern, Sydney. Our trained volunteer tutors offer free help to write stories of all kinds. Programs target marginalised young people, and those from Indigenous and non-English speaking backgrounds, but are open to everyone.
We run programs for upper-primary and high-school students who have learnt the basics of writing. Our programs develop students’ use of expressive language and improve their ability to communicate their thoughts and feelings.
We aim to increase enthusiasm for writing and boost confidence, thus allowing students to find their own voice. All our programs are project based, so every student walks away with a published piece of work.
