We are delighted to announce that the following entries have been shortlisted for the Writing Wizardry Competition. Congratulations to you all!
As ever, we had hundreds of entries from hundreds of talented young writers around the world which made it really hard to narrow it down to the names you see here. Please don’t feel despondent if you didn’t make it this time – we will open for entries again in the Autumn.
All of the following will now be sent off to author Ali Sparkes, who has the difficult task of choosing a winner!
