Opportunity for primary school pupils to win feedback from top authors
A new competition is offering primary school children the chance to get feedback on their writing from award-winning authors.
The Authorfy competition will give pupils the chance to have their stories critiqued by writers including Cressida Cowell, the author of the How To Train Your Dragon series.
SF Said, the award-winning author of the Varjak Paw novels, is also one of the novelists who will be analysing the children’s writing, as well as Laura Dockrill, author of Darcy Burdock.
Key stage 2 teachers can enter their school in the competition and every teacher is entitled to participate meaning a single school can have more than one entry.
Five winning schools will be selected and each allocated an author. Teachers in these schools can then select one pupil’s story to be critiqued by this author.
