What we’re about
The Forest of Dean has a long and rich literary heritage including internationally acclaimed authors such as Winifred Foley, Dennis Potter, Louise Lawrence and FW Harvey. This heritage is still very much alive and well, with today’s Forest writers of fiction, non-fiction, poets and playwrights drawing their inspiration from our surroundings.
Dean Scribblers aims to encourage young Forest writing talent to give this proud tradition every chance of carrying on into future generations.
If you would like to help us achieve our aims through sponsorship, please get in touch via the contacts page.
Our work
Our work can be within a school or a community and are free to the school/community and the entrants. We believe that seeing their work in print is a huge encouragement to young people to write, so we produce and give to each participant an anthology of the work.
