Write Fight Flee!

The 2023 Early Harvest short story anthology, inspired by the theme “ESCAPE”!

Are you in the mood for an escape from ordinary life? Seeking tips for a daring getaway? On the lookout for thrilling tales of adventure and evasion? Well, this is the book for you!

Fifteen young editors, mentored by author Alice Pung and publishing industry professionals, have assembled a collection of escapist fiction unlike anything you’ve ever seen. Daring jailbreaks, unlikely survival, fugitives on the lam, and countless other runaway plot points are unleashed in these stories on the run by young Aussie escape artists.

Write Fight Flee! includes 15 intrepid tales written by young Australian writers between the ages of 8 and 12, alongside a white-knuckled rollercoaster ride of a contribution from best-selling children’s author Rhiannon Williams (Ottilie Colter, Dusty in the Outwilds). Plus there are comics, puzzles, quizzes and even a choose-your-own-escape adventure!
