A big thank you for solving a problem…
A big thank you for solving a problem so swiftly which will make a real difference to the child involved. I was immensely impressed with the professionalism of attitude and also the friendliness and empathetic approach with my enquiries and the quick responses to my emails.
A great platform for writers
Our daughter loves writing. This platform gave her the opportunity to dream about writing in a long term. It is great for anyone who would like to develop writing skills and have fun in participating in competitions. Feedback is always welcomed and the communication is brilliant.
Very helpful
I received an incredibly fast response and the communication was clear and easy to follow. Aaliyah helped clarify information she was extremely helpful at every stage.
Excellent Service from Lily Howe
I reached out to Young Writers UK regarding a name spelling error for my son, whose work was selected for publication. Lily Howe handled my request with outstanding professionalism and speed. She was extremely apologetic about the mistake and immediately confirmed that my son's name was updated on their system. The issue was resolved promptly and efficiently, ensuring the correction will be made on all future paperwork and in the publication. Excellent service—thank you, Lily!

In a moment of quiet inquiry
In a moment of quiet inquiry, I placed a call seeking guidance regarding my son’s entry into the poetry competition—and on the other end of the line, I was greeted by Lily.
From the very first word, her voice carried a rare blend of professionalism and warmth, instantly creating an atmosphere of ease and reassurance. There was a calm clarity in her tone, a gentle attentiveness that made the distance between caller and receiver disappear, as though the conversation unfolded face to face.
She did more than provide information—she listened, deeply and sincerely. Every question I offered was met with thoughtful precision, every concern received with care. In her presence, even through the simplicity of a phone call, I felt truly heard and genuinely valued.
There was something quietly remarkable in the way she transformed a routine enquiry into a moment of connection—graceful, seamless, and profoundly comforting.
Such service is not easily measured. It surpasses expectation and lingers in memory, deserving recognition far beyond five stars.
