New Writers Awards digital showcase

Thanks to everyone who joined us to hear our 2020 New Writers Awardees read their work at our Twitter premiere! If you missed the show or you'd like to catch up, you can watch our showcase video below.

Spotlighting some of the finest new writing talent emerging in the Scottish scene, the 2020 awards judges included Abir Mukherjee, Raman Mundair, Michael Pedersen, Patrice Lawrence, Martin Stewart and more. 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.
