First Story Success – Tiny Poem Competition

We were ecstatic to hear another of our First Story writers has had success in a national competition. This was the first time First Story have run their ‘Tiny Poems’ competition for poems of five lines or less and we’re so pleased we could get involved.

Braydon was speechless when he heard he had won 2^nd place out of the 230 entries they received and we are really proud of how much effort Braydon has put into the First Story group this year and how enthusiastic he has been. The judges gave the following feedback for his piece , ‘All the winning poems have a reveal at the end and this one really spends the time to be playful at the beginning to pull the rug from under you when introducing human intervention into that playful and innocent world.’

Our First Story anthology is currently in the typesetting stage and will be at the printers soon. We look forward to celebrating with our writers and illustrators in October with our book launch for ‘Rubbing Heads to Share Evil Plans’
