We are delighted to announce that debut novelist Elaine Hastings will be hosting our award ceremony for our WWG Young Writers Competition 2025. We’re very excited about this because Elaine’s first novel – When We Were Young – is one of this year’s hot summer reads and is blowing critics’ minds with its nostalgic tale of love and loss (think One Day or Daisy Jones & The Six).
Elaine Hastings studied art and graphic design at the University of the Arts London. She is the Creative Lead in a communications agency and writes fiction in her spare time. She lives in Surrey with her husband, son and little black cat.
We can’t wait to meet Elaine at The Old Court on Sat 11th October – along with all our talented young writer finalists.
