Tips for Young Writers

If you would like to get your story or poem published here are a few suggestions:

Your story must be typed in double spacing on one side only of an A4 size piece of paper. Make sure you keep a copy for yourself. Send a copy of your story to a publisher with a stamped self-addressed envelope. You might like to try these:
