Scottish Book Trust New Writers Awards
In association with 
The New Writers Awards (formerly the Scottish Arts Council New Writers Bursaries) provides eight unpublished writers with financial support to enable them to concentrate on their work, as well as providing professional guidance to move towards publication.
Scottish Book Trust is also delighted to be working with the Gaelic Book Council on a pilot project which will support two New Gaelic Writers. Click on their names to read more.
