Young People's Creative Writing Anthology
Emma Chaplin, Water Anthology Editor
Thanks to everyone who contributed entries for our Water-themed creative writing anthology. We were delighted to get so many, and particularly, this year, from young people. As a consequence, we've decided to have two online anthologies. The adult anthology will be launched shortly, plus we have created this one, from the entries we received from young people (under 18 years old).
We are pleased to have created this anthology in conjunction with the Wild Coast Sussex project.
We decided not to amend any spellings or grammar, because we like these entries just the way they are.
Thanks again to everyone who put so much thought into our Watery theme and sent in their work.
From Ella Garrud, Wild Coast Sussex Communities and Wildlife Officer:
This year’s water-themed creative writing anthology is in partnership with our Wild Coast Sussex project - the first time we’ve had a Young Person’s anthology, and we’re thrilled that it’s water themed!
The Wild Coast Sussex project aims to inspire Sussex communities to care for the marine environment and enable them to protect their local coast and sea. We are working specifically with young people, from Primary School children, through to 16 – 25 year olds. Learn more about the project here:
It’s fantastic that so many young people are interested in water in nature and have submitted these wonderful pieces of creative writing. We have absolutely loved reading these vivid, imaginative poems. Thank you to everyone who spent the time to write something and send it in.
