Wordwmith Issue 37

Wordsmith – Your work, your say, your magazine…

Wordsmith is a quarterly magazine jam-packed with creative work from 11-18 year-olds. Each issue we invite budding young poets and authors to send in their poetry, stories, letters and artwork for possible inclusion in the magazine. It gives the opportunity for you to showcase your work to other people your own age and to express your views and feelings to others. We select pieces of work to win prizes each issue and we set themes for you to write about to challenge your creativity.

Issue 38 due out October 2010
