The Scots Language Publication Grant

The Scots Language Publication Grant is currently closed for submissions.

Funded by the Scottish Government and administered by Scottish Book Trust, the Scots Language Publication Grant was created by the Scots Language Resource Network to support Scottish publishers to publish and promote work written in Scots. The grant is designed to cover publishing costs such as editing, advances, illustrations and cover design, typesetting, printing and marketing.

The grant aims to support publishers seeking assistance with:

• Publishing new work, including translated texts
• Reprinting existing historical or culturally significant work
• Effective marketing and promotion of existing and new work

Please see projects supported by the Scots Language Publication Grant in 2020(this will open in a new window) for examples of the kind of projects that have received funding in the past.

For all enquiries, please email applications@scottishbooktrust.com(this will open in a new window).
