Second in our series of Chapbooks: City, Town and Village.
Submissions closing 24/05/2020, one minute to midnight.
We’re so chuffed about the success of the first in our series of Chapbooks! The launch night at the CCA was brilliant fun and the books had a buzzworthy debut at Stanza.
We’re now opening our email doors for submissions to the second in our Chapbook series! See below for guidelines.
We think you’ll agree, the first Chapbook has set the bar high, so we’re looking forward to reading even more of the best of what Scottish writing has to offer!
