Congratulations to all of our 2023 winners!
In April we launched our BCLF23 Short Story Competition. We received so many outstanding entries and our judges had the difficult task of choosing our winners.
Each winning story will now be published and a new book launched at Bootle Children's Literary Festival 2023 as we celebrate these talented young authors.
Thank you to Lesley Davies (Sefton Libraries), Shannah Woolsey (One Vision Housing) and our Artist in Residence, Ali Harwood for judging.
