Hayley Zemontas: I just want to say thank you ever so much for helping my poem- Human- reach recognised status. That means a lot to me because its a big slap in the face to the person who inspired it, a medical professional who offered no compassion or humanity. So that feels great. Thank you FS, youre all fantastic x

Hayley Zemontas: Feel so thrilled that my poem ?One Puzzle Piece? has received such glowing feedback and is now up for recognition. From hiding them away in notebooks and showing not one soul to finding the courage to post some on here, and then receiving such positivity and meeting lovely people, is just amazing. Thank you x


Hayley Zemontas: Already feel so much more confident in sharing my writing because I know now that every poem can be improved upon and people are so eager to share their positive feedback and also constructive criticism, and I am inspired so much by everyone else?s brilliant work as well. Thank you fan story for giving me the courage to take my poems from the pages of my solitary notebooks and show them to the world.


Hayley Zemontas: Blown away by the amazing poems on this site and also everyone who has taken the time to read and give feedback on my own poetry. Thanks a lot.
