Every Family has a Story – Stories from the 2024 E.M. Fletcher Writing Competition

Publication is expected in July 2025.

This fifth volume of Every Family has a Story includes stories from the 2024 E.M. Fletcher Writing Competition. This collection features 80 fascinating stories from writers across metropolitan and regional Australia. From touching memoirs to dramatic discoveries, these stories explore the joys, sorrows, surprises, and secrets that lie in every family tree. 

Judge Therese Lynch summed it up perfectly: “Without storytelling, research risks becoming little more than a collection of facts. Yet each author has demonstrated how skilled storytelling can transform family history research into powerful narratives that connect past generations with the present.” 

Whether you’re deep into your own family history journey or simply love a good story, this book will inspire you to explore new ways of telling your own family’s story.
