Early Harvest Magazine: Book 2



Recently 100 Story Building released their second Early Harvest magazine. This collaborative publication allows school children to have the opportunity to create alongside professional writers and illustrators. Themed 'zombies and space' this years edition is bursting with imaginative stories and wonderful illustrations.

100 Story Building (originally known as 'the Pigeons Project') have made many wonderful contributions to the Melbourne community by holding numerous creative writing and literacy programs. With the help of numerous amazingly dedicated volunteers, such projects result in self confidence, language /literacy development and personal development. Such benefits are priceless and we are lucky that such programs exist.

Last year I was thrilled to have the opportunity to contribute illustration pieces to the first publication Early Harvest publication. This year, as well as contributing as an illustration, I was also invited to design and typeset the book itself which was an honour.  Below are some glimpses taken from the publication which rich with content.  The publication is available for purchase from the 100 Story Building website, sales go towards ensuring the great work of 100 Story Building can continue. 

Congratulations 100 Story Building!
