Journals and Magazines in Scotland
This is a list of some of the literary magazines available in Scotland. For more information, please contact the individual magazines. If we have missed any out and/or you would like yours to be included, please email us at editor@booksfromscotland.com .
At present, we do not supply any literary magazines through the site so copies will be available either through good bookshops or by contacting the magazine to subscribe. You may also find copies through your local library.
Most of the magazines concentrate on new writing though more established writers will also contribute short stories, articles, poetry etc. Some of them have a regional focus, or serve a particular community.
