Schools Competition 2025-26 Anthology

This A5 100 page anthology with card covers will contain more than 31 stories. 

All this year’s prize-winning students' and runners-up’s stories are included.  

You can order copies of this anthology for yourself or as gifts for relatives and friends at the pre-publication price of £4.50, a massive discount on the published price of £10. 

It’s a great gift for birthdays and Christmas!

Orders with cash (or electronically)  to Peter Munro by 1st May, please.

Orders after this date will cost £10, subject to stock being available - last year we ran out just after the launch. 

Proceeds from sales will help to finance future school story-writing competitions.
