One lucky winner will have their story published in a Jacqueline Wilson book! They’ll also receive £100’s worth of WH Smith Vouchers, a year’s subscription
to First News, a book bundle for their school library AND get to meet Jacqueline herself.
500 runners up will also get their names published in the same Jacqueline Wilson novel!
If you are between 7 – 12 years old then you are eligible to enter this exciting competition.
How to win!
All you need to do is write a story between 750 and 1000 words about an UNLIKELY FRIENDSHIP using the first line below, written by Jacqueline herself:
I’d wanted to find a special friend ever since I came here. However, I never thought I’d find such an amazing one! …
It’s up to you to decide where the story goes after that but it must be something that you’ve made-up and not be about anyone or anything real.
