Young Writers have given me materials to run two very successful competitions at my school. The materials are excellent! The students love doing these competitions, and they're really building confidence as creative writers.
The service you get from Young Writers is first-rate, and the staff are always on hand to help you. Highly recommended.

Missed publication of daughter's poem
I somehow missed the communication about my daughter's writing hence it was not published. This piece meant a lot to my daughter so I requested if anything could be done to publish it. The team here was absolutely amazing to check for solution and they will publish in next edition. I am so looking forward to seeing her poem in the book. Thank you as this was a very important piece for my daughter.

A Wonderful Experience from Young Writers!
We were absolutely thrilled when our daughter’s poem, which she entered through her school, was selected for publication in a Young Writers book. Seeing her work in print and receiving a copy of the book was such a proud and memorable moment for our family.
The customer service we received from Young Writers was excellent. Every query was handled promptly and professionally, and the team was always friendly and helpful. They made the whole experience enjoyable and exciting for our daughter, encouraging her love of writing and creativity.
