Here’s your chance to get published in The Age! Next year, as part of the Premier’s Reading Challenge, The Age is looking to publish a poster each month. The first one, to be published in February, will feature stories of action, conflict and adventure.

So, if you have read say, Snakehead or the books of Extreme Adventure books by Justin D’Ath or Maxx Rumble or anything else with bags of action, get thinking and gt writing! The posters will include reviews of 150 words. Think: short, sharp, punchy and inviting.

Reviews don’t just tell us the plot. Introduce the main character. What is their problem? Who or what will stop them from getting what they want? (Remember the workshop with Michael Wagner?) Did you find the book exciting? How exciting???

Send your review to Mike Shuttleworth as an email to: youthlit@slv.vic.gov.gov.au or snail mail it to me at the Centre for Youth Literature, State Library of Victoria.

Get cracking for a chance to share your thoughts with the whole of Victoria.
