Submissions wanted from Self-Published authors
Bloody Scotland 2016 takes place from the 09-11 September next year. At the festival we aim to showcase the very best in Scottish and International crime writing. In 2015, around 6,000 tickets were used across our programme of 40 events, with over 50 participants.
As part of our planning process we're lucky to receive submissions from many Scottish, UK and International publishers, with more authors put forward than we could ever possibly accommodate. Despite this, we recognise that there is more than one route to publication and we're interested in hearing from Self-Published authors who wish to put themselves forward for the festival programme.
Due to the high volume of submissions we receive we cannot guarantee that you will be selected for an event. However, we will view all submissions. Events in our programme range from solo talks with high-profile authors to small panel discussions. We would prefer your book to have been published recently and ask that you submit no more than two pieces of writing.
We want to hear about you and your book, as well as anything else you think will be relevant, such as any previous speaking experience you have.
What we offer
A modest fee of the same level to all our authors, currently £200 for a solo event and £150 for a panel.
One nights accommodation in Stirling (if required).
Please note that we are unable to fund travel costs for participants.
