Young Jenni scoops top writing prize http://eacnews.co.uk/eacnews/young-jenni-scoops-top-writing-prize.html
A young writer from a Kilmarnock school beat off stiff competition from pupils across Scotland in a prestigious writing competition – which even included entrants from St Petersburg in Russia.
Second year Grange Academy pupil Jennifer Herd’s folio of writing was selected by judges of the Pushkin Prizes competition, making her one of only 10 national winners.
Her prize is a unique opportunity to attend a five-day creative writing course at the Arvon Foundation Writers’ Centre in May, when young Scottish and Russian winners will come together to learn from professional writers.
