Macmillan Children’s Books teamed up with Movellas, the online writing community, to run the Stanza and Deliver poetry-writing competition, open to teenagers aged thirteen to eighteen. After receiving hundreds of fantastic entries, the twenty-four best poems have been selected and are featured in this wonderful new collection, This Is What I Have to Say. A competition to give Movellas users the chance to design their very own cover for the poetry collection was also run in conjunction with the poetry prize, and of the many stunning entries one very special design has been chosen.

With a foreword and some brilliant writing tips, both from renowned poet Roger Stevens, this is a truly moving and thought-provoking collection of work from up-and-coming poets.
