Author of Tomorrow | Read the Anthologies
The Author of Tomorrow award invites young writers across the world to try their hand at a short adventure story. After being selected for the shortlist, the writers work with an editor over the summer to polish their stories ready for publication.
We partner with global literacy charity, Worldreader, to publish these stories in an anthology, and make them available for a year to readers anywhere there is internet. 2025's anthology, featuring the ten stories written by the talented young writers the shortlist, is called Myths, Mysteries & Mavericks and is available on Worldreader’s Booksmart app and online library.
