  • Storytelling is the heart of Yarn Quest, so why don’t you have a go at writing your own?

    In the Write Your Own Stories episode of Yarn Quest we hear a story from Sibyl and Aunty Brooke. They tell us their very own made-up story all about being a writer. Then Aunty Brooke will take you through writing your very own fiction (that’s made up) story! Then we hear from published writer and editor Jasmin McGaughey, she shares with us why writing stories is her favourite thing ever, and how you could become a writer when you grow up.

    Thank you to Yarnie Sibyl for their help with this episode.
