Kirsty Mitchell’s late mother Maureen was an English teacher who spent her life inspiring generations of children with imaginative stories and plays. Following Maureen’s death from a brain tumour in 2008, Kirsty channelled her grief into her passion for photography.

Chris Baty founded NaNoWriMo in order to extend a simple invitation to people around the world: to write the novel inside of them. When he was invited to co-write a story and share it as a work-in-progress, he stepped up, just like you stepped up to our November challenge.

Finally!
