The young writers in my Writers’ Group workshop (that I run at school) have had great success with their creative writing this year. In February, they produced a collection of all the short stories and poetry they’ve written since the workshop opened in October 2011. They managed to sell 53 copies of their anthology, Kaleidoscope, to teachers, students, family and friends in the local community, making £159 between them. Of course, as young entrepreneurs, they were then able to keep the profits from all their hard work. I love the diversity of themes in their collection; a lot of depth, especially for people so young (they’re all between 12-18)! The anthology was printed by Think Ink, and looks great – A5 sized with a gloss finish. Good value for money at £3.00 a copy!

About Leilanie Stewart
Leilanie Stewart is an author and poet from Belfast, Northern Ireland. She has written four novels, including award-winning ghost horror, The Blue Man, as well as three poetry collections. Her writing confronts the nature of self; her novels feature main characters on a dark psychological journey who have a crisis of identity and create a new sense of being. She began writing for publication while working as an English teacher in Japan, a career pathway that has influenced themes in her writing. Her former career as an Archaeologist has also inspired her writing and she has incorporated elements of archaeology and mythology into both her fiction and poetry.
In addition to promoting her own work, Leilanie runs Bindweed Magazine, a creative writing literary journal with her writer husband, Joseph Robert. Aside from publishing pursuits, Leilanie enjoys spending time with her husband and their lively literary lad, a voracious reader of sea monster books.
