THIS COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED


To celebrate the release of her new teen novel Boys Don't Cry, Sugar Book Club have teamed up with best-selling author and all-round literary legend Malorie Blackman, to offer Sugarscapers an amazing, exclusive and money-can't buy prize.

How do you fancy a writing workshop with you, Malorie and ten of your mates at your local branch of Pizza Express?

Our friends at the best restuarant ever have promised to supply yummy pizzas/pastas and salads to keep your brains (and bellies) ticking over while Malorie shares her tips and tricks.

Malorie might be best known for her Noughts and Crosses series, but her new book Boys Don't Cry, looks at life from a teen dad's perspective...

Here's what the blurb on the back says:

You're waiting for the postman - he's bringing your A level results. University, a career as a journalist - a glittering future lies ahead. But when the doorbell rings it's your old girlfriend; and she's carrying a baby. You're fine to look after it, for an hour or two, while she does some shopping. Then she doesn't come back and your future suddenly looks very different.
Malorie's dramatic new novel will take you on a journey from tears to laughter and back again.

Ooh sounds good...

But do you know what sounds better?

Actually meeting Malorie and picking her brains (eww we hate that expression!)

So whether you're looking to be an author when you're older, you've got writers' block and want Malorie's tip and tricks or you just fancy tucking into a Pepperoni with a famous teen writer - enter the competition right now!

To enter all you have to do is write the introduction to an amazing story.

Give us something to whet our apetites for what could be the greatest story ever told.

We want a hint of what's to come, an exciting start and a lot of flair and creativity.

Your opening should be no longer than 100 words. Here are some of our fave openings to get you started...

'I'd never given much thought to how I would die - though I'd never had reason enough in the last few months - but even if I had, I would not have imagined i like this...'

'It was the best of times, it was the worst of times...'

'If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth..'

Please note: You HAVE to be free on Wednesday 3rd November from 6pm onwards.

And don't forget to include your correct postcode - so we can find the Pizza Express that's nearest to you.
