New Writers' Bursaries

In 2008, responsibility for the Scottish Arts Council's New Writers' Bursaries fund passed from the Literature Department to Scottish Book Trust, as part of its programmes of training and mentoring for writers, the fund has been re-named 'New Writers' Awards'.  The Literature Department will continue to be represented in the assessment and decision-making on applications, but all aspects of the administration and application procedures, including dealing with enquires from potential applicants, will be the responsibility of Scottish Book Trust.  Please refer to Scottish Book Trust website for further information.

Please contact the Scottish Book Trust for information
