Kingaroy student Charlotte Landherr will have her work published in a new teaching resource used by Australian secondary students after winning first prize in a national writing competition.<\/p>\n

Charlotte, who is in Year 9 at St John\u2019s Lutheran School, was awarded first place in the Flash Fiction \u2013 Student (Year 7-9) category of this year’s Jacaranda Writing Competition.<\/p>\n

Her entry, “The Monster”, tells the story of a five-year-old child who is woken by her parents in the middle of the night and told the family is being chased by a monster and must run away.<\/p>\n

Charlotte said she enjoys writing stories with a twist.<\/p>\n

“The story is written from the point of view of the child and the truth about her situation isn\u2019t revealed until the final sentence,” she said.<\/p>\n

“Fantasy and dystopian stories are my favourite genres because they allow you to escape and create a whole other world.”<\/p>\n

Organisers of the national competition said hundreds of entries had been received but Charlotte’s story really stood out among the many high-quality submissions.<\/p>\n

St John\u2019s principal Karyn Bjelke-Petersen said the school worked hard to encourage a love of reading and writing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We\u2019re fortunate to have some talented teachers whose love of literacy is infectious,” Karyn said.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s wonderful to see our student\u2019s work receive recognition at a national level.”<\/p>\n

Charlotte received a $100 cash prize and her story will be published in the new English 7 Jacaranda resource.<\/p>\n

Footnote:<\/strong> In addition to short stories, Charlotte also enjoys writing longer works of fiction and is currently working on a dystopian novel set 800 years into the future called “Fatal Return”. She plans to publish a new chapter online each fortnight on her blog<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
