Young Writers

Young Writers is an organization that runs national writing competitions for schools, aiming to engage and inspire pupils' imaginations. It was founded in 1991 by Ian Walton, a poet rebelling against the elitism of the poetry world, who vowed to make it possible for poets and writers of all ages to share their work. The organization supports teachers by creating meaningful writing competitions, themes, resources, and prizes, with the goal of improving children's confidence in creative writing and seeing their work published in physical books.
