Young Writers Competition

Handsworth Grammar School have been entering the Young Writers Mini Saga competition for a number of years now. This year’s theme, “Stranger Sagas”, included 47 entries ranging from speculative fiction to romanticism.

The competition organisers were impressed by the entries from Handsworth Grammar School, commenting on the way in which the writing showed ‘perception, imagination and creativity’ written with ‘strong expression, originality and use of language’. The English Department is delighted that 43 out of 47 entries received have been published in an anthology produced by the organisers- again, surpassing our previous record!
