Earlier this year, Guardian Masterclasses ran it’s first ever summer school for teenagers and young people. In this blogpost, we share some of the brilliant short stories written by students on our creative writing class.

Tutors for this five-day masterclass included Laura Dockrill, author of the much-loved Darcy Burdock books for children, award-winning teen fiction author James Dawson, novelist Ed Docx, writing coach Roz Morris, and other special guests including Guardian Books editor Claire Armitstead.

Have a browse through our students’ stories using the links below - we hope you enjoy reading them as much as we did!
