This year, the event focused on how the engagement of young people at local, national and global levels is enriching various institutions within the world.
Here at Pegasus Publishers, we also want to acknowledge the young authors who have contributed during the immense pressures caused by COVID-19. So, lets have a look at some of the authors in the early parts of their careers;
Daisy Oldershaw
Daisy Oldershaw is a young author and published student journalist. Originally from Nottingham, she spends a lot of time there, where she was inspired to write her own work. She wants to give young people the joy that books gave her throughout her teenage years. Daisy looks forward to a long future as an author and will continue to write more and more as she progresses
Maddison Amy Burford
Maddison Amy Burford is a creative writer/illustrator based in Northampton. When living in London, to cope with the stresses of her commute, she started to write as a way to escape. Now back in her hometown, she still finds writing a great way to unwind, bringing to life the characters and stories of her dreams.
Thomas Pass
Thomas Pass is a writer from Nottingham, UK. He has been writing since he was thirteen and has been trying to improve his craft ever since. He has a blog that he frequently posts stories and articles for, and is currently working through a creative writing course in DeMontfort University, Leicester. He enjoys video games, movies, tabletop games and any other world he can sink his brain into.
Shaneta Widjaja
Shaneta Widjaja was born on the 6th of July 2003 in Bandung, Indonesia, where she still lives with her parents and impulsive older brother. Her brother's numerous theories are, in part, what led to her fascination with all things unbelievable - the same fascination that, along with her love of literature, eventually prompted her to write the first draft of The Reversal at the age of thirteen.
