Page Turners become Editors

Posted on 15th October 2015 by Mr Magnall

Have you ever wanted to be an editor?

Well, the Page Turners are trying the job out this term. They are proof reading a manuscript of a book, Going Batty by John Agard, which will be eventually published. The scheme that they are taking part in is called Young Editors. The Page Turners have been given the job of reading the manuscript, correcting any spelling mistakes, making comments, suggesting where to insert a picture (can submit artwork) and score each chapter and then the book as a whole out of 10.

Fancy having a go yourself? Come along, we meet in the Library on Thursdays at 12pm.
