The Columbia Academy Anthology

The Woodfine Young Writers Guild, a division of the Hilliard Institute and Hilliard Press, partnered with the Columbia Academy Lower School in Columbia, Tennessee, to create this anthology of short and flash stories written by CA students in the third through sixth grades. Submitted stories were reviewed and edited by writers and editors from Abbeyleix, Ireland; Oxfordshire, England; and Middle Tennessee, USA.

Around 160 stories were submitted for the contest, and these are the ones selected for publication in the first ever Columbia Academy Anthology.

The Hilliard Press editorial team offer our congratulations to those who took part in this literary competition. The quality and creativity of these stories and the writing skills of these young writers are outstanding. Keep on writing
