ASL is inviting applications for the role of co-editor of New Writing Scotland, from writers currently based in Scotland. Applicants should have a strong publishing record of their own, with a focus on poetry; previous editorial experience would be an advantage. The post will run for up to three years from 2027, for volumes 45, 46, and 47, publishing in 2027, 2028, and 2029 (dependent on funding).

Our editors jointly select approximately 50 pieces – poetry and prose – from the English- and Scots-language submissions we receive each year. The submissions are anonymised, and we provide editors with paper copies to read. As an editor, we’d ask you to attend launches in Edinburgh and Glasgow (travelling expenses would be paid). Editors receive an annual £1500 stipend and full editorial credit.

We encourage applications from all backgrounds and particularly welcome applications from people who are under-represented within the sector, including from BPOC applicants (Black people and People of Colour), disabled people, LGBTQIA+ applicants and those from a low socioeconomic background.

Please send a CV and a one-page application letter, outlining your qualifications for the position, to admin@asls.org.uk by 6 p.m. on Sunday 8 November 2026.

The Gàidhealtachd is shrinking. What a loss to Scotland the loss of Gàidhlig as a mother tongue would be. The loss of the language began as an intentional crushing of culture imposed on a people. Gaelic now is at a tipping point, explains @wodieskodie.bsky.social

Canna beat a morning roll (many names exist for this delicacy across Scotland and have done for many, many years, including 'bap') The well-fired version are a favourite, too. Delicious with many different fillings. Morning, noon, or night #keepScotlandtheBrand

Ooooooh! This looks like being an excellent event: finding new ways to tell Scotland's story, and the myriad tales of countless people of have helped to shape our communities. It's not just the 'big tales' that matter, Sometimes, the most fascinating glimpses and insights are found in the mundane.

"...if you can order a morning roll, and realise in that moment that you’re part of a chain of 500 years of Scots doing exactly the same thing, that’s powerful.” Peter Gilchrist @tenementkitchen.bsky.social makes the case for morning rolls, or baps. What a delicious way to #keepScotlandtheBrand

There is something very worrying about this erosion of respected Scottish research and education facilities Speaking to academics who say universities, etc., create crucial knowledge but the real profits go to private organisations. Maybe time for a rethink? www.heraldscotland.com/news/2645203...

If Scottish Government creates a labelling system for dairy produce similar to that on egg cartons, farmers could get a fair return for higher welfare cow-with-calf systems says @ciwf.org.uk Shoppers can make clear choices, Scotland earns a name for high welfare quality dairy #keepScotlandtheBrand

Salmon farming makes a fortune. The sector is important to the Scottish economy, but fails farmed fish horribly with terrible impacts on wild fish and the marine environment. Scotland's brand should be synonymous with high animal welfare and food standards consumers can trust We have to do better.
