The writing is on the wall

School kids write it up

For the fourth year open|box|design has been involved in the 'what's the story' project for wordfirsts which has culminated in the production of ten exemplary short stories by secondary school children in Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire under this year's title of 'The Writing on the Wall'.

The book has been typeset and designed by open|box|design and uses the excellent illustrative talents of Jill Calder for the cover and images throughout the book. We always look forward to this project as we enjoy working with Annette Murray and Heather Evans, but more importantly, we get to read these wonderful, funny, shocking and heartfelt stories from the next generation of writers. If these books are anything to go by we can safely say that the standard of English and writing in the North East of Scotland is simply second to none. 

For the second year running, the book will be on sale at Waterstone's in Union Street, Aberdeen City.
