In early 2011, Manchester-based Creative Writing student Dan Formby approached Valley Press with a concept for an anthology of short stories; on the theme of 'anti-conventionalism, anti-society, and young people's anger at the world that has been left by the generations before us.' A national search followed, with submissions strictly limited to writers under 25. Front Lines presents the winning selection, in print for the first time.
The selected stories are uncompromising, vital and gripping - frequently, but not irredeemably, dark, and a fascinating insight into the minds of creative, socially engaged young people living in the 21st century. Rich with contradiction and authenticity, morally unstable narrators relate tales of society (lost and found), wars (global and personal) and summits (physical and emotional), with a range of voices as diverse as the young adults who created them. This is writing from the literary front line: a unique chance to discover six writers from a generation that will shape our future.
