On the 18 November, English students at Croydon College took part in the London Metropolitan University’s ‘Big Writing Challenge’. This was a great opportunity for the students to express their imagination through their words.

During the competition, students were introduced to professionals from the publishing industry including writers, agents and publishers. It was evident how much the students enjoyed participating as they got to discover where writing can take them. Whether it is storytelling or publishing, there is a wide range of opportunities for them to explore.

The aim of the competition was to equip the students with good knowledge of how the publishing industry works. By gaining awareness, students can actively seek out opportunities to get involved in the aspects of publishing that interest them the most.

If you have a creative flair, vivid imagination and a way with words, one of our English courses could be ideal for you. Find out more here.
