Here's a wonderful opportunity for Scots Language poets. I'm guest editor for the February edition of @dreich.bsky.social and I'm looking for fresh, contemporary topics written in modern Scots to fill the pages. It fills up fast so get your submissions in.

To everyone who’s bought a book from us recently: thank you. We’re reaching for just 10% of our subscribers and followers to buy a book from us, which would sustain our work in a big way. If you haven’t yet, and you can, we’d love your support. brokensleepbooks.com
A minimalist digital graphic on a white background. Bold black text at the top reads 'What if just 10% bought a book?' Beneath it is a simple open book icon, followed by smaller black text saying, 'Your support changes everything.' In red text below, it reads, 'To everyone who’s already bought a book—thank you.' At the bottom, the website 'brokensleepbooks.com' is displayed.

WRITERS! New Writing Scotland seeks a new co-editor for English- & Scots-language work. Applicants should be currently based in Scotland & have a strong publishing record, with a focus on prose. Post is up to 3 years: stipend £1500 per issue. #writers #writing Pls RT 👇 asls.org.uk/new-writing-...
NEW WRITING SCOTLAND

ASL is seeking applications to be a 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 prose; previous editorial experience would be an advantage. The post will run for up to three years from 2026, for volumes 44, 45, and 46, publishing in 2026, 2027, and 2028 (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 midnight on Monday 4 August 2025.

Submission to New Writing Scotland is free and open to all. You can find our submission instructions here.

If you don’t yet have a copy of the incandescent Muckle Flugga by @michaelpedersen.bsky.social then haste ye to a bookshop! Haunting, melodic, and bewitching, prepare to fall in love with the island and the characters 😍 #muckleflugga #scottish #island #booksky #fiction #love #tragedy #change
A blurred bookshop background. In centre frame is a table on which a hardback copy of Muckle Flugga by Michael Pedersen stands atop three other copies. The painterly-style cover has white text with and the image shows a lighthouse atop a pink rock, surrounded by sweeps of colour (white, blue and black) that represent waves and the darkness. The lighthouse emits a streak of yellow light and silhouettes of people stand at its base.
