"I looked at the blue packet on the floor and almost heard it calling me... Go on! Stand up for yourself."

Young writer Della Darvill's taste in crisps wasn't the only thing that marked her as an outsider and a target for bullies. When it came to the crunch, her favourite snack came in handy. 

Della is seventeen years old and from Southampton.  She has been a keen writer and performer from a young age, and is studying Drama, Music and English Language and Literature at college.  With a passion for musical theatre and a love of live performance, she tries to see as many shows as her bank account will allow.
