Worthing children have stories published after charity writing competition

Using the first line ‘It all began when the train stopped in Worthing’, children aged between five and 11 had to come up with their best story to be in with a chance of winning.

Following a huge response to the contest, Sawyers Estate Agents announced the list of winners and the published book containing more than 100 of the entries is now on sale.

Dan Killeen, managing partner of Sawyers, said: “The variety of stories and imagination shown was breath-taking. We were overwhelmed by the effort put in by the children who had clearly spent hours perfecting their story.”
