April 2020: the country is deep in the first lockdown as a result
of coronavirus. Young people are left rootless, without school or
friends and isolated at home. In this enforced alienation a
creative writing competition, 'Generation Lockdown Writes', was
launched for young people from the ages of seven to 17. The only
rule was that submissions to the competition had to provide an
insight into what life was like for them in lockdown - to open up
windows of homes and experiences across the UK. Some of Britain's
finest authors for young people stepped in to judge the ten
individual categories, and the entries flooded in. 'Generation
Lockdown Writes' is the stunning final collection of the winning
entries, chosen from over six thousand entries. The beautiful and
varied pieces provide a unique insight into what life was really
like for young people during this historical moment across Britain.
We enter many different worlds, and are given a remarkable insight
into the range of emotions that young people felt. From moments of
fear to joy, this is a collection of writing that will linger in
the memory for a long time. Profits from the sale of this book will
be donated to BookTrust.
