Find out more about Scottish Book Trust’s annual writing project – Scotland’s Stories – and how you can get involved. The theme for 2025 is Friendship and the deadline for submissions is 6th June.
As part of Scottish Book Trust’s annual writing opportunity – Scotland’s Stories – they’re asking people to submit their true stories inspired by this year’s theme, Friendship.
Join hundreds of people across Scotland in writing about your real-life experiences. Even if you’ve never written before, they’d love to hear from you!
Entries can be in any form you like – a story, poem, comic strip, play, video, audio file, or letter. Entries in Gaelic, Scots and English are welcome. Every entry will appear on the Scottish Book Trust’s website and their favourite pieces will be published in a free book distributed during Book Week Scotland (17–23 November 2025), the national celebration of books and reading.
