SCHOOLS: Budding authors to get work published

SWANMEAD Community School in Ilminster has congratulated Year Five pupils Molly Conway and Lara Summerscales on their creative writing skills.

The two girls submitted their mini-sagas as part of a national writing competition called Once Upon a Time.

Following the hundreds of entries from all over the country, both Molly and Lara received letters to tell them that their stories were to be published.

The book, due for release in August, is called Once Upon a Time and the girls, along with the school, will be a sent a copy of the publication.

Swanmead headteacher Mark Walker said: “What a fantastic achievement – we’re all very proud of them.”

Molly’s saga is called The Zodiac Stones and Lara’s work is entitled A Mystery Never to be Solved.
