Book Week Scotland: Amal El-Mohtar in your inbox
Sign up to receive an exclusive serialised story from Amal El-Mohtar during Book Week Scotland.
This year, our Book Week Scotland newsletter will feature an exclusive serialised short story by the multi-award-winning author, poet and critic Amal El-Mohtar.
There is an honourable tradition of serialisation in the publishing of some of our most enduring novels. The Counte of Monte Cristo, Anna Karenina, Heart of Darkness, And Then There Were None and In Cold Blood were all published first as a serial, with people waiting with bated breath for the next instalment. Famously, American Dickens fans nearly rioted in New York Harbour to get their hands on the latest part of 'The Old Curiosity Shop.'
This year, you too can embrace the joy of anticipation. Sign up for our special Book Week Scotland newsletter at the bottom of this page, and on each day of the week (from Monday 17 November to Sunday 23 November) at 8am, you will receive an instalment from an exclusive new Amal El-Mohtar short story.
