What the Judges are looking for
Example ideas:
We thought it might be helpful to offer some possible themes you might consider to help you plan your writing so we asked some school students to share some ideas with us.
Topics: Travel, Friendship, Caring for someone, Surviving, Discovery, Technology. Escape, Bereavement, Love, Hope or Recovery.
Support for your Writing
We’re delighted that you’re planning to enter our competition. In this section you will find material to support your journey towards submitting your writing to the Write Well judges.
Reading Recommendations
One of the most effective ways to make progress with your writing is to read examples of the type of writing your are aiming for and to hear what other writers have to say about the process. We have put together a list of books and articles we think you may enjoy exploring.
