This summer I will have a short story published in New Writing Scotland, the annual volume of poetry and prose that publishes works by writers resident in Scotland or Scots by birth, upbringing, or inclination. I love this anthology, and it was the first place I was ever published over a decade ago. I am so happy to be coming home to their pages.

As they put it, ‘New Writing Scotland is the principal forum for poetry and short fiction in Scotland today. Every year it publishes the very best from both emerging and established writers, and lists many of the leading literary lights of Scotland among its past (and present) contributors.’
