Would you like to win a signed James Roy book?
    
Every two months, I'll be running a creative writing competition for young people. If you're still in primary school (or younger!), you're eligible to enter, and at the end of each round I'll publish the best three entries on my website, and send the winner a groovy prize - a signed copy of one of my books!
The September/October 2005 winner, with a story based on the phrase "WHISPER INTO THE BLACKNESS", and therefore the winner of a signed copy of Captain Mack, was Ariana Villarosa. Congratulations, Ariana! The runners-up were Jack Denby and Fleur van Asperen. Well done to everyone who entered. You can read the winning entries here.
Next time the lucky winner could be you, so read the November.December guidelines carefully, write your entry and email it to competition@jamesroy.com.au.
The winners will be notified by email.
Competition details for November/December2005

BOOM WENT THE CRACKER Your passage might be a poem, it might be the first paragraph of a story. It's entirely up to you, so get writing! I can't wait to see what you all come up with. And a brief reminder to put your name and age at the bottom of your entry.
