I jumped at the chance. Me to discover new writing talent? Bring it on!
Now, with all five short stories being just under 1000 words long each, the extracts are quite short. Around 250 words. So a delicious appetiser!
Now, I was planning to not tell you anything about my extract it as, I want you guys to read it and all the others on other people's blogs!. But I've changed my mind! So, my extract is taken from Footprints in the Far Field by Reyah Martin, a short story that explores a mother's all consuming grief after the lost of a baby, explored by the child who is left behind.
If you're curious to read extracts or all five short stories, keep your eyes peeled on BBC.co.uk/ywa or follow the #BBCYWA on all the social media!
Now, over to the short extract to wet your appetite!!!
