We're Writing to Say
We’re Writing to Say... is a Story Factory project that aimed to creatively document the lived experience of young people during the COVID-19 pandemic. During the shared experience of a truly unprecedented year, the project connected young people with each other: building empathy, embracing inclusion and providing a forum for them to share their stories and reflections.

Dog My dog, very smelly, as smelly as a piece of garbage. Cute as, cute as a super super cute puppy and very, very hairy. Black hair, very skinny. Why my dog is important to me is because when I am lonely he keeps me company, and he is funny.

My Harry Potter Book Collection My book collection is a rectangular shape that’s dark blue with gold stars. It has all the Harry Potter books and feels very smooth, just like the back of a piece of foam. It smells like cardboard and you can’t taste it.
