Here at Young Writers we have been working closely with schools for the past 19 years by promoting the reading, writing and enjoyment of poetry and creative writing through our annual competitions. We offer schools and pupils the chance to be involved in a fantastic creative writing experience; from writing a poem or story to seeing that work printed in a book (a book you can buy in a high street bookshop!). Over a decade of our titles are in the National Archives at the British Library in London, which we add to each year!

We are currently developing the teacher section, so please do check back regularly for the latest news, competitions, lesson plans, workshops and useful resources. If you have any feedback, suggestions or ideas for our teachers' page, our information packs or any way in which we can improve the services we provide to schools, we’d sincerely love to hear from you. Please email us directly at youngwriters@forwardpress.co.uk or complete the feedback form to the right.
