Learning the Land is the third of three anthologies to be created as part of the University's commitment to the Mayflower400 commemorations in 2020.
If you're under 19 years of age, send in your work for a chance to become a published author in this fantastic collection of poetry, prose and stories.
This year’s theme is Learning the Land. What does it mean to you?
Use your own words, in your own style. Write a poem, a story, or something else. Add your own illustrations, if you like. Work on your own or in a group. All entries must be in your own words, but a grown-up can help you to write them down. If selected, your work will be read by many the world over, with copies being sent to Plymouth in Massachusetts, America.
Pictures for inspiration can be found at www.plymouth.ac.uk/anthology from September.
Entries close on 22 November 2019
Inspire your classroom with creative writing workshops, delivered by BA (Hons) Publishing and Illustration students.
The workshops run between October and November to stimulate creative thinking and writing from school pupils. Works can then be submitted for consideration to be included in the published book.
For pupils aged 7-14, these workshops are validated by the Children’s University.
