I sent an email on Friday the 9th and received a reply on Monday 12 October. So it was a quick return. Also the adviser gave me enough details to reassure me that my order was in process.

Deceptive business model exploiting parental pride
I would strongly caution parents before buying anything from Young Writers. Their tactics are deceptive.
Our son was 3 years old when his nursery submitted work to this "competition." We received a letter saying his poem had been selected for publication - flattering, until you actually read the poem.
We know with absolute certainty that our son could not have possibly communicated these ideas to a teacher independently. He was 3 at the time of the "competition". We have no idea how this poem came about or who actually wrote it. Yet Young Writers presented it as his own creative work and used it to encourage us to buy a £19.99 book.
Here is the poem - judge for yourself (names changed):
"My name is Ben and I go to preschool,
My best friend is Theo, who is really cool.
I watch Spider-Man on TV,
Playing with Daddy is lots of fun for me.
I just love pasta to eat,
And sometimes cake for a treat.
Red is a colour I like a lot,
My Spider-Man is the best present I ever got.
My favourite person is Sarah, who is a gem,
So this, my first poem, is just for them."
This is clearly a fill-in-the-blank template. It is not a poem written by a child - it is a sales tool. The business model is simple: use schools and nurseries as free marketing channels, dress up a commercial product as a competitive achievement, add a deadline to create urgency, then charge parents £19.99 per book.
The letter even states "ordering is not a condition of publication" - while being carefully designed to make you feel you have no choice but to buy.
Also, Trustpilot itself has flagged that Young Writers "may be asking for reviews in a way that Trustpilot doesn't support," which raises serious questions about their 94% five-star rating.
This is not illegal. But it is deliberately deceptive, and parents deserve to know exactly what they're paying for.
