Submitting Manuscripts to Scottish Cultural Press

The aim of Scottish Cultural Press

Before submitting any work to Scottish Books

 

  • Before submitting any work please thoroughly examine our current catalogue at www.scottishbooks.com. This will help you decide whether your work fits into and/or complements our current list.

SPECIFIC GUIDELINES

 

When submitting any work to scottish books/scottish cultural press your cover letter should be typed and include: your name and address, date, manuscript title, brief synopsis, category of work (e.g. history, biography, area studies etc.) and intended market/readership. If you have had any other relevant work published or experience you may wish to mention this also.

Additional Notes when submitting work to Scottish Cultural Press

 

Due to the many manuscripts we receive and the tight publishing schedules we work towards we are unable to respond to manuscripts immediately. In most cases you should expect to wait at least six months.

This also means we are unable to individually comment or give feedback on manuscripts. If you need objective advice on your work contact someone with experience in this field. This could be a bookseller, a writer in residence (contact your local library), or a published writer, etc. Alternatively, you may choose to pay a freelance Reader to provide objective feedback on your work (consult your local library for details).
