Description
Founded in 2017, each year the programme pairs a group of phenomenally talented students – who have taken part in First Story’s in-school writing programmes – with writers from the Folio Academy, for a year of one-to-one creative writing mentoring, during which the mentees work on a portfolio.
For the first time, The Day Is Fresh presents the mentees’ work in print. Inside, you’ll find fiction that ranges across fantasy, thriller, and realism; you’ll find bright and illuminating flashes of experimental prose; and you’ll discover dozens of pages of poetry that, like all exceptional poetry, will cause you to look at the world afresh.
