Well your voice needs to be heard and this is the place to get your message across! Let everybody know what’s really going on in your life. The transition to adulthood is a turbulent time and no one understands this quite like those who are going through it themselves. There are so many emotions and issues to deal with and yet so often you feel ignored. Poetry is the perfect way to channel all that confusion and develop your own unique voice. With the chance to be published alongside your fellow young poets, you’ll also get an insight into the minds of other teenagers who feel just like you.

So go on, get writing

Teen Poets is an ongoing competition so there is no closing date. Once we have enough entries to edit a book we will contact the successful poets.
