I was one of the winners of Rhubarb Writers' Wandering Words Competition and my poem 'Parkin' (first published in @frazzledlitmag) is now part of a poetry trail running throughout July! If you're ever in Saltaire, you can see my poem in the window of Salts Village Bakery 🥐

Now that our submission deadline has arrived, we’ll be pressing pause on our quote of the day posts. We’ll still pop in every now and then, but for now, we’ll be busy reading through your exquisite submissions. Thank you for sharing your work and we'll see you very soon!

✨ Deadline Day! ✨ We’ve received so many wonderful submissions. Thank you to everyone who’s shared their writing with us. Midnight tonight is your final chance to submit! #callforsubmissions #WritingCommunity

Back for 2025! Following huge success last year, BCU Presents: Benjamin Zephaniah Future Writers competition is back. If you're a budding poet or love writing, this is for you! This year's theme is 'Nature Trail' and encourages pieces to be around around the environment, the spaces where they spend their time, the impact of nature on their everyday life and looking after the planet. With support from Qian Zephaniah, and sponsors and partners @nationaltrust, @BhamBotanicalGd, @PoetryBrum, @BirminghamRep, @BZephaniah, @ApplesAndSnakes, winners will enjoy a wide range of incredible prizes, and will be invited to the Awards Ceremony later this year. Get involved now! Find out more and submit your poem today 👉 bcu.ac.uk/future-writers
