Publisher Description
Macmillan Children’s Books teamed up with Movellas, the online writing community, to run the Stanza and Deliver poetry-writing competition, open to teenagers aged thirteen to eighteen. After receiving hundreds of fantastic entries, the twenty-four best poems have been selected and are featured in this wonderful new collection, This Is What I Have to Say. A competition to give Movellas users the chance to design their very own cover for the poetry collection was also run in conjunction with the poetry prize, and of the many stunning entries one very special design has been chosen.
With a foreword and some brilliant writing tips, both from renowned poet Roger Stevens, this is a truly moving and thought-provoking collection of work from up-and-coming poets.

Customer Reviews
A Nostalgic Read
This really is a wonderful and positive representation of today's teenagers who still write poetry, that could quite easily have been written by myself and my friends when we were teenagers, although it probably wouldn't have been as good. Great work Movellas and Macmillan and all the talented authors, plus the cover designer. Awesome!
Its Ttme to listen!
What a wonderful outlet for young people to express themselves in a positive and empowering way. The standard is very impressive and incredibly engaging!
This is what they have to say! It’s time to listen!
What an achievement for online publishing!
This is just fantastic. Not only are the poems in themselves of an excellent standard, but it is just simply refreshing to know that all of these poems have been written by teenagers. To think that for most of them, this will be the first time they will have had anything published. Makes a change from all the bad press teenagers get. Buy it or regret it!!
