THE ROSE

The Rose, a termly-produced zine has been compiled by LGGS Sixth Form creative writers and artists.

Each issue has a theme which is then used as inspiration for our writers to produce short stories, flash fiction, and poetry. These pieces are shared with our artists - many of whom are from the sixth form art society - who interpret the theme, and produce illustrations to represent the writing. This form of collaboration - a creative blind date, of sortsallows both our writers and artists to come up with interesting new perspectives on the theme and each others’ work. Our first issue, ‘Another Dimension’, features artwork by Alice Bertrand,

Orla Graham, Faith Hodgson, Freya Kitchin, Sophie Round, Julia Trykowska, Alice White and Eshaal Zuberi, and explores alternate versions of our world, our lives, and ourselves. Read it now in the library, or on the library section of the LGGS website.

If you are in sixth form, and would be interested in getting involved in the making of the next issue, the theme is ‘New Worlds’. For more information on this theme, an inspiration board for this topic is available by email request.

If you have a short story, flash fiction or poetry submission, please find Miss Jackson in the library or email: s.jackson@lggs.lancs.sch.uk.
