  *NEW* Young Writers' Competition

  We love Young Writers at Leaf Books. They impress us with their whole sitting down and writing clever words thing at an age when we were mostly falling out of trees. So we've decided to open our first ever Young Writers' Competition for people under the age of eighteen.

  We'd like you to send us poems (up to 25 lines long) and micro-fiction (short stories under 300 words) on any theme imaginable. We'll then pick our favourites and publish them in an anthology. There are three age categories: under 18, under 14 and under 11. One winning entry in each category will receive £50 and a free copy of the anthology. One runner-up in each category will receive a free copy of the anthology. All other selected entries will be included in the anthology and authors will be able to purchase copies at half the usual retail price.

  Enter online or by post. £3 per single submissions; £10 for four submissions.

  Closing Date: March 31st 2009.
