Out of the Frying Pan... is a collection of 15 Australian stories that recount the trials and tribulations of confronting adulthood. Covering the hilarious, the heartbreaking and the tragic, these stories by talented young writers encompass what it really means to 'grow up'. In turns heartfelt, powerful and confronting, the wide range of stories reveals that no-one escapes unscathed during the transformation into adulthood.

Some of the topics include:

- A young prison inmate, who had been passed from home to home since he was three, writes a heartbreaking apology to his foster parents.
- The new 'white boy in town' experiences a bone-crushing rite of passage - playing with the hardcore football team of Aboriginal men, some of whom are on day release from the local detention centre.
- A young woman struggles with an eating disorder that tears apart the lives of those she loves.
- One man recalls 'coming out' as gay to his Christian family.
- Another confesses to years of chaotic dates caused by his seemingly incurable anxiety around women.
