Hearts Through History Writing Competition
A Valentine’s poetry competition for lovers of history
To celebrate Valentine’s Day, we’re delighted to announce a brand new writing competition created especially for fans of Jodi Taylor.
This time, we’re inviting you to put pen to paper and compose a Valentine’s Day poem addressed to a famous person from history. The poem can be romantic, witty, heartfelt or mischievous, but it must include rhyming couplets. Submissions close on Saturday, 31st January, after which all entries will be published on Jodi's social media for readers to enjoy. The winner will be chosen through a public poll held between 1st and 13th February, and announced on 14th February. As a lasting keepsake, the winner will receive a beautifully framed copy of their poem.

Is there an entry limit? I have ideas for … several.
Doggerel duly scrawled and submitted. I have done my hero a disservice, in poetic terms, and maybe I'll pen a more fitting tribute too... but I doubt it'll reflect my Epically Ardent Teenage Adoration (who said Obsession?!) any more accurately.
