- Scottish Book Trust is all about promoting reading, writing and literature in Scotland. In this incredibly fast-moving technological world, we're convinced that writing and reading are more important than ever, and we want to help people discover that, from primary school kids to retired grannies. We organise book awards, author tours and talks, writing competitions and interactive online projects, and we supports writers with a range of projects including skills development and bursaries, funding literature events, book awards and promoting Scottish writing to over 10 million (yep, that many) people worldwide.
