The Young Writers Annual Showcase is the perfect way to celebrate your pupils’ hard work giving them the chance for their piece to be published in a real book.
From stories and poems to blog posts and essays you can choose any writing your pupils have done this academic year, up to 1,000 words. If there is a longer piece you absolutely love feel free to submit an extract.
It’s the perfect way to celebrate your pupils' achievement, increase their confidence and showcase your school’s talent!
❤️ Your pupils could be published in a real book alongside other budding writers from across the UK
🏆 We're awarding the best writers £100 and a trophy - could it be a pupil from your school?

"He was very proud of himself and very surprised he won, it was amazing for him - best birthday present as the trophy in the post coincided with his birthday! He said he liked making up the story and now he has a pet caterpillar he will do a story about her. I really love it when children use their imagination and put story on paper for others to share."
Parent of Maximilien Baker (4) (4-year-old category winner)

"Young Writers’ Annual Showcase was truly the perfect outlet for my creativity. It was a great opportunity for me to write a short essay on ‘Should Fairytales be Changed?’ - a topic I had a keen interest in and greatly enjoyed exploring and debating. I feel inspired to continue creative writing as a hobby."
