SCRIBBLE
Becoming Co-Editors
professionalism and prestige is an immense privilege. It has been so exciting to see the first Scribble edition of the school year unfold and I am eager to see the rest to come. Since I can remember I have had a mind of creativity and overflowing imagination that has been driven by the art of reading. Whether being transported to ‘The Secret Garden’ of Francis Hodgson Burnett, the wonderful world that is Roald Dahl’s ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ or the glowing Italian summer of 1987 in Andre Aciman’s ‘Call Me by Your Name’, each place I have travelled, each character I have met and each emotion I have experienced has had the overwhelming ability to expand and develop my way of thinking and has opened my mind for the better, helping me grow as a young woman. Reasons such as these are why I feel so passionate about a platform such as this in allowing readers to openly express how a narrative, sensation or big idea has made them feel or think differently, catalysing open discussions and debates, bringing individuals together – the true power of literature. In longing for a career in journalism or marketing and communications, I feel Scribble is the perfect place whereby I can enjoy building upon a number of skills based upon writing, editing and promotion, not only just inside the Scribble publications but also in areas such as the social media platform created by Holly and myself, showing that even in the technology driven world of today, we can still make literature a prominent feature of our lives.
Lily Harding, Grace Turner & Holly Lovett New Co-Editors of Scribble
W
hen hoping to study English Literature A-Level at our school, I can honestly say Scribble swept me in at first sight. I have always desired to write for a school publication in one way or another and being presented with the opportunity to be as involved in one of this level of
Kirsty’s position is going to be a tough one to uphold and I wish her and the remaining upper sixth members of our team all the luck for the future. As the new coeditors I hope Holly, Lily and I, along with the help of the rest of us involved, can make this fantastic project flourish even further! Grace 27
