I LOVE reading these submissions each year so do please go for it if you'd like to win a scholarship to a writing course of your choice at the City Lit. I undertook a number of courses at the City Lit at the start of my writing career and found each one invaluable. Good luck!

Remembering the great David Bowie, who would have been 78 today. He was a student at City Lit in the 1960s. At the time, we still knew him as David Jones...
