Youth Magazine Publishing Opportunity



Do you know a 12-24 year old person living in Melton City Council who might be interested in being published in a magazine that represents the youth of our community and their thoughts, concerns, ideals and life goals? 

If so, please invite them to submit their short stories, poetry, reviews, health and wellbeing articles, photos and artwork for publication in the leading youth publication within Melbourne's West, No Restrictions.

Melton City Council's Youth Services is funding the project and will be printing 2,000+ copies that will be available for free at key locations within our community. We will also be producing an electronic version and hope to place on the iStore and GooglePlay.

An eclectic, talented and enthusiastic group of young Melton City Council residents are making all of the decisions, designing the magazine and contacting printers, etc. My role within the group is to guide them through the writing, editing and magazine production processes, and make it fun!

We meet every week from 4:30pm until 6:30pm-7:00pm in the Taylors Hill Youth Centre internet lounge (121 Calder Park Drive, Taylors Hill). Melton's Youth Services also provides free transport from the Melton Youth Facility (193 Barries Road, Melton). 

If you know someone who might want to join the editorial team, please contact Melton's Youth Services on 9747 5372 or send an email to julianz@melton.vic.gov.au.

A counselor from Djerriwarrh Health Services also attends our meetings and will provide advice on health and wellbeing articles – we already have a few on bullying, anxiety, physical disability and managing exam pressure. Keep them coming!

Thank you,
Emanuel
