Literary Magazines from Scotland

For many writers, literary magazines, chapbooks and pamphlet poetry offer their first opportunity to be published in Scotland. They are a great way to showcase your work and gather feedback. There are a number of literary magazines in Scotland, each with their own particular focus. We have asked many of the leading magazines to introduce their publication and explain their background, goals and interests. Some magazines are geographic; others focus on poetry or short stories; and some are virtual magazines existing only online or as PDFs to download.

The magazine Edinburgh Review was founded in 1802, and in its latest incarnation it remains a forum for critical thinking, review, and original writing.
