Posted on 12 January 2018

We’re super excited to announce that beloved writer, poet, and former children’s laureate, Michael Rosen, is giving his support to We Are Writers, the amazing writing project that gives children the unique opportunity to see their work in a real, printed book and has turned over 500,000 kids into published authors!

With We Are Writers, any child can become a published author and getting kids enthused about reading and writing is one of the things Michael Rosen does best.

“The best part about being a published author is that when you write something, you can put it out into the universe.” Michael told us. “This wonderful project, it’s ideal, every single school should have We Are Writers.”

Any book made in 2018 will include our exclusive introduction from Michael Rosen so that your children can be published alongside a bestselling author! Check out Michael’s introduction below:
