Scottish Book Trust searches for stories

National charity Scottish Book Trust is encouraging the public to share their real-life stories. It marks the 14th year of Scottish Book Trust’s annual Your Stories campaign, which this year is partnering with EventScotland as part of Scotland’s Year of Stories 2022.

From those who write regularly to those who have never

written before, Your Stories is open to all submissions, regardless of writing experience.

Submissions can be made in English, Scots or Gaelic in any form – story, poem, comic strip, play or letter – of up to 1,000 words. Every entry will appear on Scottish Book Trust’s website and a selection of pieces will be published in a free book distributed to libraries, community groups and schools during Book Week Scotland (November 14-20)

– the national celebration books and reading.

The deadline for submissions is Friday June 10, and they can be made via the above website or via post to: Your Stories, Scottish Book Trust, Sandeman House, Trunk’s Close, 55 High Street, Edinburgh, EH1 1SR.
