Stories from the Studio

Our programming is available to youth all across Canada. Programs are delivered completely online using a combination of virtual classrooms and video meetings.

Many of our community partner programs are offered at no charge. When we do have to charge a fee, we aim to keep the cost of our programming low for everyone. (We also have a limited number of bursaries available for those in need. Please contact us if you want to learn more about bursaries.)

Stories by Young Writers

The Story Studio Writing Society began in 2011 with the hope of bringing creativity and confidence into children’s lives by giving them the tools to tell stories of their own, in their own words and with their own illustrations. Since then, we’ve helped young authors create thousands of publications. You can read some of these stories by downloading the links below.
