Welcome to SCBWI Scotland!

SCBWI Scotland is for anyone in Scotland who writes and/or illustrates stories for children, from picture books to young adult novels. Our friendly community includes people at all stages of the publishing journey, from just starting out to already published. We also warmly welcome SCBWI members from other parts of the UK and around the world.
