Fantastic service!
I love youngwriters. They offer fantastic competitions that give students a real purpose for their creative writing. I teach at a PRU and this recognition is invaluable. The contact with staff is always prompt and super friendly!

Amazing 🤩
Working with or supporting young writers is an incredibly rewarding experience because youthful creativity brings an unmatched sense of wonder, raw honesty, and bold experimentation to storytelling
WANTED: More like this
Too often nowadays people are faced with the dread of seeming insignificant and helpless. Too often are companies quick to forget the values that they were founded upon. Too often people can fail to realise the power they have over others, the power to bring joy or anxiety.
Not so at Young Writers. The people who have chosen to work at this marvellous organisation, not only know remember that they have this power, but actively and successfully use it. Particularly Lily.
I cannot speak highly enough of the service that I was afforded. Calm, Knowledgeable, professional and prompt. With simple and friendly communication the day at my end was turned from one or trepidation and possible disappointment to one of relief and unbridled excitement. To say that the students who took part in this received the news they wanted well would be an understatement. The actions of one person changed the course of these students day and potentially their futures. Genuinely I cannot thank them or recommend them highly enough.
