It’s that time of year again! Time to get writing.
York St John University and Valley Press are proud to announce that they are open for submissions for Beyond the Walls, the annual anthology showcasing the work of York St John creative writing students
The students on the ‘Working with Words’ module are beyond excited to be working with other students from York St John to publish yet another edition of the anthology.
This theme for the 2021 anthology is Resilience Through the Unknown.
During the past year it has been clearer than ever that resilience is the key to prosperity, with a heavy focus on escapism through many forms of art and literature. The theme for 2021’s Beyond The Walls project highlights this and hopes to build on what we have achieved, discovered, and overcome through these unprecedented times.
