The Untitled Chapters just came across some very exciting news for our younger writers! A JACQUELINE WILSON YOUNG WRITER’S COMPETITION !!

The assignment

Write your own short story adventure inspired by Hetty Feather.

All entrants will have their work displayed in the lobby of the Ductac Centrepoint theatre at Mall of the Emirates.

Regulations:

•  You must be aged between seven and 12 years old.
• Entries must be no longer than 1,000 words in length.
• All entries must be submitted in the correct format which should include the entrant’s name and age at the top of the story above the title.
• The entrant’s email address and mobile number must be included at the end of the story on a separate page (but within the same document). This is to ensure all entries are clearly identifiable.
