Young Storykeeper - Volume Five Is Here!

Fighting Words and Great Lighthouses of Ireland are excited to launch the fifth and final volume of the Young Storykeeper digital magazine! We are delighted to now share every lighthouse-inspired story, poem, comic, animation and song with you.

We received over 1,300 submissions and are grateful to each and every young author for sharing their creativity with us!

In May 2020, Fighting Words and Great Lighthouses of Ireland invited submissions of original writing inspired by lighthouses from young writers aged 7-12.

The 5x5 Project - Five Is No Limit

What is inside the 5km boundary where you are?

Engage your five senses and discover the stories within your 5km! What is special about the area where you live that you would like the world to know?

Fighting Words invites you to explore the world around you and share your creativity with us!

Take a photograph of something within your 5km limit and write its story in five...five what? It’s up to you!

What Lives In Your Imagination?

Tell Us A Story About An Animal or Creature - Real or Imagined!

Fighting Words is asking young authors aged 7-12 to send us stories about animals.

In this celebration of creativity, ALL the stories will be published on the Fighting Words website and several of the stories will be animated by our team of volunteers!
