The 2010 Winner
Hopefully, some of you got to see an extract of 12-year-old Callum Cleary’s award-winning story, “Points of View: Wolf Pack Hunting”, at Angel tube station (see a frontal view of the poster here). Or click here to read the story online. His story will also appear in print in Litro Magazine.
The International Young Persons Short Story Award is a collaboration between Litro Magazine and Warwick University’s International Gateway for Gifted Youth (IGGY). We aim to encourage creative young people to showcase their writing and recognise them for their talents and efforts.
