I get paid to daydream, to sit at my computer and write down stories. I can’t wait to read your stories, too.

The Festival of Young Writers 2024

Braidwood Lions Club members are delighted to announce that the Young Writers Festival will be held again during 2024.

First held in 2018, this bi-ennial Festival is a significant event on our community and school calendar.

All school aged children living within the 2622 postcode are eligible to become involved.

This is a great opportunity for students to interact with renowned authors and maybe to get their entry included in the book that will be published at the end of the Festival. 

Read more about the festival, and previous years, including lists of winning authors

Entries are now closed. Judging is being finalised and the award ceremony will be held in the National Theatre on 29 November 2024.
