The new Young Writer book "Word Magic 2" is all done and dusted and looks absolutely amazing! I took delivery of 150 copies yesterday and we will incorporate the launch with the final session of the year on 17th December - as long as the library staff don't mind. Every single contributor and active group member will receive a free copy of the book this weekend and any other copies required will cost £2.00 - not a lot - and will be available to buy at our session on 17th December. They will make lovely personal Christmas presents for friends, teachers and relations - especially if your young writer is encouraged to autograph it!
On that day, all contributors will also be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, plus the group's first ever trophies will be awarded so 19th December is going to be a Big Day for AYW!
At our previous session, on 19th November, we did a one-off session looking at research and writing reports. The idea was to find a period in history they find interesting and look up relevant facts using the library, the internet (with parental supervision) and also just by talking to people - and then to write it up like a newspaper report - a challenge I know the Young Writers can rise to!
Looking forward to seeing everyone this weekend, then!
