What is StoryBoard?

A free travelling creative writing workshop fostering the next generation of readers and writers in the Northern Rivers. StoryBoard brings acclaimed authors and illustrators directly to schools to work with students in all forms of creative writing.

In 2017 we reached over 7,000 students with our StoryBoard Bus, visiting schools as far as Tenterfield in the west, Kempsey in the south and Tweed Heads in the north.

‘My son has struggled with reading and writing for 2 years. He has been diagnosed with everything from dyslexia to audio processing delays… After the Byron Writers Festival “StoryBoard” visit to his school, I have to say, something has changed in him. He came home bursting with ideas and confidence and has since created six books.  It gave me SUCH joy because this is a kid who was too anxious to even attempt to read until recently, let alone write. Thank you, you are doing truly beautiful and important work!’ – Sarah, Bangalow NSW
