Be inspired

Space is amazing! But it’s also huge, like your imagination. How do we choose just one idea? And what happens next?

We asked some amazing writers for their top tips, to help you find an idea and turn it into a piece of writing.

In their videos, the writers use NASA’s Astronomy Picture of the Day as a starting point. You could also find a book about space in your local library, or go outside and look up at the sky.

We would love to see what you create — you can launch it into space through our submissions form.

We are in the process of developing a resource pack to accompany these workshops, alongside some sample stories, poems and comics from the writers themselves. We look forward to sharing these with you soon!
