Young Writers' Comp
Even if you're over 18, we're sure you know a young person - sibling, offspring, neighbour, student - who loves to express themselves and scribble their thoughts on a page.
Someone who'd want to know about this competition and get involved. Pass on these details to them.
We love young writers at Leaf Books. They impress us with their whole sitting down and writing clever words thing at an age when we were mostly falling out of trees. So we have decided to open our first ever Young Writers' Competition for people under the age of 18.
We'd like you to send us poems (up to 25 lines long) and micro fiction (short stories under 300 words) on any theme imaginable.
We'll then pick our favourites and publish them in an anthology.
AGE CATEGORIES:
18 and under
Under 14
Under 11
PRIZES:
One winning entry in each category will receive £50 and a free copy of the anthology. One runner-up in each category will receive a free copy of the anthology. All other selected entries will be included in the anthology and authors will be able to purchase copies at half the usual retail price.
