* LINDISFARNE CHILDREN’S PRIZE * In addition to our adult crime fiction writing prize, the Northern Photography Prize and the Northern Film Prize, I’ve had it in mind for a long time to found a children’s writing prize and I can think of no better time than the present to encourage the younger members of our community to express themselves creatively through writing. With this in mind, our team is preparing to launch the new prize before Christmas and it will be available to primary aged children in the North East, initially, with a tiered prize system. This year’s theme will be TREES, and we hope it will prove educational and inspiring for those children who take part. For any teachers in the region who may find this of interest, please keep looking out for further updates in October. LJ x

It's so sad to hear of this senseless act of ecocide. My former PhD student @WritingByZoe (now Dr Mitchell!) wrote a brilliant poem about the tree. The image of the wall takes on even harder significance now. #SycamoreGap @nationaltrust theguardian.com/books/2020/j…

Very proud to have shared my poem about Sycamore Gap on @BBCRadio4 as part of a segment on the senseless destruction there. I only wish it had been for a much happier reason. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001qt… #SycamoreGap #poetry @chiuni @IndigoDreamsPub @WordsforWild

Just seen the news about #SycamoreGap thanks to this post from @theliterarypig and I'm so sad. An iconic skyline, a piece of history, a symbol of endurance... and it's just been destroyed. 😢 Here's my poem about that wonderful place: theguardian.com/books/2020/j…
Here's a wonderful #Poem #SycamoreGap by @WritingByZoe, a Guardian Poem of the Week. A conversation between Hadrian's Wall & that iconic tree. I was in a workshop group with Zoe & we all loved this poem from its first outing. Today's news is numbing. theguardian.com/books/2020/j…
