It was a real privilege today to take part in the Scottish debuts showcase event which kicked off Aye Write, Glasgow’s book festival.

You can catch up for three weeks after the event here, and discover some diverse new Scottish writing.

Order the books including What You Call Free from bookshop.org to support the festival.

And the fun doesn’t stop here – from 14 to 23 May there are lots of fascinating book events. Explore the programme for yourself.
