Writing the Pandemic: Manchester’s Young Voices ( Published: 12/06/2020)
Students at Manchester high schools and colleges are invited to send in their responses to life in lockdown. Entries can be letters, poems, short stories or reports, up to one page in length.

- Have you been stuck at home?
- Have you noticed the world changing around you?
- And your world too?
- Have you been writing about lockdown?
- Would you like to write about this ‘new normal’?
