All the fun of Mayfair Post 2

Well, I have to say my thoughts kept drifting back to Saturday as I worked yesterday and all the fab young writers I met. I felt part of something special and from the responses I've had I think others felt the same :) It's a real celebration of young talent and who knows where it might lead?

So as promised another instalment, this time our readers from Years 7 and 8, all kicked off by first round author judge, Gill James. She is my business partner at Bridge House, has had lots of shorts stories published but best known for her YA novels. She currently lectures at Salford University in Creative Writing and best of all is a great friend. Gill talked to us about the judging process and the quality of the writing, before she handed back to our young writers/readers ... here are some photos ...
