right, write 2015The ebook of Hampshire SLS's writing competition, Right, Write 2015 is published today.

We are very pleased to announce that Olivia Wake from Robert May's School in Odiham is this year's winner, with her story The Boys Lost in History. In it Olivia imagines that the two princes, Edward and Richard, escape the Tower of London to vanish into the countryside, and once Henry Tudor had become king were never able to reveal themselves.

Our judge Judy Waite admired Olivia's "real skill" and "convincing voice" in weaving history into fiction.

The two other authors whose stories Judy particularly admired were Emma Leeson with Only Time Will Tell and Nathaneal Jenkins' The Trials. She said, "in some ways they were all three equal, as they appealed for different reasons - they are the ones I found I remembered most."

Congratulations to all our shortlisted authors. We hope you enjoy their stories.
