First Story and Partner Schools work collaboratively towards publication of a printed anthology. Empowered with agency throughout the process, young writers choose which pieces to include — learning how to edit, revise and improve their own writing — and together decide their anthology’s title and cover art. Copies are gifted to participants and the school’s library, with a copy sent to the British Library. Their achievement as published authors is typically celebrated at a launch event attended by families and communities.
Copies of First Story anthologies cost £10 each (plus postage). If you would like to purchase an anthology please complete the form below.
