Share your ideas for the next theme!

Submissions are now open for Young Writers Collective members to make suggestions for the next theme for the Spring/Summer 2026 edition. Young Writers Collective will be creating an anthology of writing submissions, to be published both digitally and in print (thanks to Focus Foundation). Previous anthologies have had the themes of Time/Time Travel and The Sun. We're looking for fresh new ideas to spark creativity and writing responses for our next edition. All ideas are welcome, just fill in the form below.

We are also planning some workshops (in-person and online) for the next edition and we’d love to know what kind of workshops you’d like? On the form below we’ve included a section for you to make suggestions. This is your Collective so we want you to lead the way and we’ll do our best to make it happen!

The deadline to submit your suggestions is Wednesday 22nd April 2026
