Children's laureate extraordinaire Malorie Blackman has launched a fantastic project for creative minds aged 13-19!
Project Remix is a fantastic opportunity for YOU to get creative. Let's hear from Malorie to explain what it's all about!
Take inspiration from your favourite writers to make your own creative work in response to their books and stories. Write a fanfic, design an alternative cover, reboot their story for your own spin-off comic strip, or even write a piece of original music inspired by their work.
There's a fantastic set of titles for you to be inspired by, including TAMSIN AND THE DEEP by Neill Cameron and Kate Brown - from the pages of The Phoenix Comic! Read the entire first chapter of TAMSIN here!
Or why not take our own Phil Earle's amazing HEROIC as a starting point?
UK residents aged 13-19 can enter the competition, and Malorie herself will be choosing her favourite entries in each category to win some very special prizes – including...
The chance to win behind-the-scenes visit to The Phoenix Comic! You could win a chance to meet the team at Phoenix HQ in Oxford, find out about how a comic is made, and get some career advice from the Phoenix’s comic creators.
The deadline is 23 February 2015 - so get started RIGHT NOW!
Check out the Project Remix website, with some fantastic tips from creators including Neill Cameron and Kate Brown, HERE!
And if you want more of Phil Earle's Heroic - don't forget that it's available to buy from The DFB Shop!
You can find more from Tamsin and The Deep in the pages of The Phoenix Comic!
