The Henrietta Branford Writing Competition
The writing competition for young writers
The HBWC is open to any young writer under the age of 19. The six winners of the Henrietta Branford Writing Competition will be announced online on Wednesday 1st July and their stories will be posted online. The announcement will be on the website and also Social Media on Wednesday at 9am (Facebook and Twitter)
The Branford Boase Award is one of the most imaginative and useful prizes there are. Imaginative, because imagination is a way of seeing the truth about things, and the truth about writing and publishing novels is that a good editor is a story’s best friend and wisest counsellor.
