Jayce made history at just 7 years old
Jayce Joyce BCyA — Guinness World Records title holder, Youngest Editor of a Published Anthology · Awarded 13 February 2026
Our Stories, Our World is the UK's first nationwide child-led anthology — 20 young
authors, ages 6–10, curated by 7-year-old Jayce Joyce BCyA. It made Jayce a GUINNESS WORLD
RECORDS™ title holder for Youngest editor of a published anthology (male).
Jayce Joyce BCyA is the confirmed GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title holder for Youngest
editor of a published anthology (male), following the publication of Our Stories, Our World.
The record was officially achieved on 13 February 2026, when Jayce was just 7 years old
(7 years 290 days).
The anthology has sold over 1,000 copies and was officially launched at the Library of
Birmingham — the successful conclusion of the 2025 pilot Books From Children To Children
competition.
"It means so much to me because this record is not just about one person. It celebrates
all the young authors who shared their stories and showed the world what children can
achieve when they are given the opportunity."
