Young Writers Collective Anthology

A group of young people stands on a stage in front of a clapping audience.

The Young Writers Collective was a writing group for young people aged 18 – 30 and living in South East London that ran in 2025.

The poems they created and performed at Deptford Literature Festival 2025, were collected and published in an anthology.
