Keep it in the family

Author: Barry | Filed under: Personal

I’ve known for the last couple of years that my niece, Lauren, is keen on writing.  She’s eleven years old, and is already shaping up to be a fantastic author.  She has an unbelievable imagination, and I’ve told her several times that she’ll be overtaking me in the writing stakes soon.

And how right I was!  At the weekend Lauren phoned to tell me she’s won the Young Writers’ Little Laureates poetry competition, and that her poem – entitled The Playground – is to be published in a book!

I’ve already told her I want her to sign my copy.  One day I’ll sell it on eBay and retire on the profit it makes!

So a huge WELL DONE, Lauren, and I have no doubt we’ll be seeing much more of your work in print in the years to come.
