Enjoy readings from some of the most exciting emerging writing talent in Scotland as part of our New Writers Showcase 2022.
Every year, the New Writers Awards ([ Ссылка ]) spotlight an amazing array of new writing talent in Scotland. The prestigious 2022 judging panel included Scots Makar Jackie Kay, Niall Campbell and Colin Waters for poetry; Tendai Huchu, Janice Galloway, Denise Mina and Alan Bett judging fiction; and Dean Atta, Lari Don and Hannah Sycamore (Scottish Book Trust) judging Children's and YA entries. The Gaelic Books Council selects the two Gaelic New Writer Awardees.
The expert panellists relished the hard task of selecting awardees from hundreds of entries and this is your chance to hear the writers they selected read from their own work during our specially recorded digital event.
