Nottingham Double - Feature in Evening Post


April 28th, 2008. The Nottingham Evening Post featured an article on our two youngest authors, Alanna Irving and Catherine Old.

Alanna was interviewed by Lauren Taylor of the Evening Post in mid-April, and we have just received a copy of the resulting print article which includes a photo of Alanna, the youngest winning author, who was 14 when she wrote her contributions to 'Five Green Bananas'.

Catherine Old, who previously was interviewed on BBC Five Live Radio with Simon Mayo, also gains a mention in the article. "Our English teacher got us involved with it (Scriblist) ad it's been really good to write for a purpose, for an audience. I was really excited to be selected for the book, I did not expect it at all."

To listen to extracts of Alanna and Catherine's writing, follow the audio links at the top left of this page. To read the complete article, click on the image above.
