Earlier this year, Kelso Writers, using a grant awarded by Scottish Borders Council’s Neighbourhood Support Fund, ran a short story competition for pupils in Kelso area schools and aimed to produce an anthology featuring prizewinners’ stories.
The stories, written by 9 prizewinners and 7 runners-up from P4 to S6, appear in the 100-page paperback anthology, which also includes stories by other local writers.
The anthology will be launched on Tuesday, 19th November at 5pm in Room 2, Abbey Row Community Centre, Abbey Row, Kelso, TD5 7BJ.
There will be some readings, and prizes will be presented. Light refreshments will be available.
Adults and accompanied children are welcome to attend.
