Writing Links
A gradually expanding list of writing and literary links, which I will update occasionally. If I remember. Some are specifically to do with the course, and I'll try and organise them into magazines, communities, competitions, that sort of thing. Obviously for the competitions, once the closing date's gone, it's gone. But there's always next year...
General Writing
conFAB
Set up in 2004 to help "support grassroots writers of all mediums, of all cultures and backgrounds to develop and produce their own original work"
JBWB
"JBWB is here to help YOU become a published writer. This site is packed with information on writers' markets and writing competitions, and contains links to all the writers' resources you'll need."
Blimey.
Writers
O.W.Toad
Margaret Atwood's homepage
Peat Poets
A couple of Scottish blokes, writing poetry and drinking fine malt whiskey. Admirable in every way.
(Colin Begg is also on the MLitt course this year...)
Lippy Bissoms
An all-female Scottish poetry collective
Alan Spence
The award winning Glasgow writer's home page. Go. Read his stuff. Read it. Read it now.
Scottish Writer's Project
This page has a horrible scrolling banner at the top, but apart from that, it's really rather good.
