Hello & Welcome

here to start? ‘Once upon a time’ is how a clichéd bookwouldbeginhowever,that’snothowI’mgoing to kick-off this first edition of our Literary Mag don’t worry! Instead, I’m going to begin with a question... what does English mean to you? If your answer is that it’s the most interesting subject in the world then, along with being in the English teacher’s good books, this magazine is for you! English to me is such a broad subject; one that reaches out into so many realms; what other subject allows you to go back time and see back into history, to understand society and above all, what other subject allows you to get inside the imaginations of others? Because I can’t think of one. So, to you: the Sixth former or GCSE student, we hope you enjoy reading this magazine as much as we enjoyed writing it and we hope that it gives you a snapshot of what this magazine is all about!

0, what actually is it about? Well, we’re a collective group of sixth formers who are all joined together by our love of anything English. This first edition of our Literary Magazine is tailor made for anyone who enjoys English, who is considering it post Sixth Form or just about anyone who a love for reading and writing. English is a fantastic subject but it’s also a challenging one and so from cover to cover this magazine is packed with insightful advice (find Abby Spalding’s top 10 revision tips on page 30), thought provoking essays (check out Meg Heaney’s feminist angle on female writers on page 18) and more! Enjoy!
