Amidst the buzz in school during December, short pieces of fiction are a great stimulus which can be used to continue to develop writing skills inbetween concert rehearsals and craft fayres. This month’s ’50 Word Fiction’ from the Scottish Book Trust is a great opportunity for learners to pen a piece of fiction of no more than 50 words, influenced by a particular setting.
The deadline is Monday 2nd January 2017. The Young Writers category is open to all children and young people under 18.
