Short story, flash fiction and poetry readings will be shared by our winning and shortlisted writers.

We will also welcome our outgoing Makar, Beth McDonough and outgoing Scriever, Moira McPartlin as we announce our new Makar and Scriever for 2023.

Attendees will also be treated to the world première our virtual anthology, including video readings from writers across Scotland and beyond.

This event will be hosted by Federation Chair, Marcas Mac an Tuairneir. The Federation of Writers aims to support writers by making the whole process much easier to negotiate, from starting to write to publication. We can help you to find a writing group in your area, tell you where you can perform (if that is your wish) and help with the process of getting published.

Where possible we will update our listings to notify of cancelled, postponed and rescheduled events, however we STRONGLY ADVISE that you check with the venue/organiser in the first instance for updates.
