Days Like This

Days Like This is an new project run by Scottish Book Trust in partnership with BBC Radio Scotland. To take part, all you need to do is write about a day in your life that was a bit extraordinary. It could have happened in Scotland, or anywhere else in the world. If your story is true, and takes place on a single day, SBT and BBC want to hear from you!

Author Irvine Welsh, chef and broadcaster Hardeep Singh Kohli, actress Siobhan Redmond, mountaineer Jamie Andrew, percussionist Evelyn Glennie and Idlewild frontman Roddy Woomble have joined the project as celebrity curators. They'll read your stories and choose their favourites to feature in some special programmes on Radio Scotland later this year. They have also written and recorded their own stories for the project, and you can read all six of them on the SBT site now.

Your story needs to be true, and to be written from your point of view. It also needs to be no more than 1000 words in length. Submit your story on the Days Like This website or by post to:
