Share Your Story
Writing Competition 2018
We are very proud to announce that you can be published in the Share Your Story Annual Anthology.
Please submit either a complete short story up to 1500 words (no first chapters or to be continueds…) or a poem of no more than 650 words. The theme is "Christmas" and our judges are looking for creative, engaging stories or poems that will appeal to children aged 5 to 12.
We would love you to celebrate the spirit of Christmas, share with us your Christmas story, your memories of Christmas as a child, or what Christmas means to you, or just make something up that kids will love.
You can enter as many times as you like and will receive feedback from the judges on your entry. All work must be original and school students are more than welcome to enter.
